Eating disorder mitigating circumstances

Hello,
I am sending off my ucas application next week, in particular to Cambridge (thats why my application is early)

I was diagnosed with anorexia during exam season for Nat5 (GCSE equivalent) and was actively in weekly therapy/recovery during my higher exams and am wondering if this is worth putting on my application. I got all As at both Nat5/Higher so its not supposed to be a justification for lower grades, just a bit of context esp since anorexia affects concentration, memory etc.

I know unis wouldn’t actively admit if they see it as a problem but im just worried it will be seen as a risk by wherever i apply.

Any advice would be really appreciated :smile:
