However, im just worried that this will go against me in the application process can anyone give me some advice if this will or not please.

    As Andy says. The following is the guide to medical conditions which maybe a bar to entry:

    "Psychiatric disorders

    Ongoing psychiatric illness. Psychosis. Schizophrenia Obsessive-compulsive
    disorder. Autism. Personality disorder. More than one episode of deliberate
    self-harm of any type.     Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Alcohol, drug or substance dependence. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) unless free of symptoms and not requiring treatment for at least 3 years. Anorexia and bulimia."


    Good luck to you.
