Medical Exam Advise,Mental Health,UK

[Anna084 0]

Hi im wondering if anyone could give me some advise I've got the medical exam coming up in London and have some concerns.

Just to briefly explain ,When i was younger,i was a victim of abuse which cause some mental health problems i self injured quite extensively and scarring is still very noticeable so i guess i will have to explain it.
I have been fully recovered from my mental health issues for a good time now and i have no reason to believe it would happen again. initially i wasn't too worried about this being a issue. However i read the Medical questionnaire and it raised concerns for me, i don't no how much to disclose ? Its a issue of the past not the present so do i have to?

If anyone has had any similar experiences and can give me some advise of how to proceed i would be really grateful, just want to get this right.

Thankyou

Anna

You should disclose your state of health as feels honest, but the Qs are interested in your history.

If you are concerned, what many folks do is take a letter from their GP outlining their illness history, treatment, and prognosis. In your case, you might want the GP to note how far in the past everything happened and how you are currently fit, healthy and have no on going illness or treatments.

There's at least a couple of UK folks I can think of recently who had mental illness history (now well) and went armed with GP letters. Hopefully they'll see this post and chime in.

Here is a review from a UK member that was positive

You need a letter from you GP that says the magic words that you are "no longer a threat to yourself or others, nor will be in the future".

Somebody recently had a Knightsbridge exam and had a letter that was a little more vague. They were referred for a psych exam before Knightsbridge would complete their results forms and send to the embassy. I can't think of the name and I did search around for it.

Previous Uk persons are AngelBlu or Angel_Blu (some version of Angel and Blu)

Queen of Blades is a current poster and her doctor was supposed to write the letter with the phrase that seems to work. Her medical is coming up. She has scarring too.

This document explains what the doctor at Knightsbridge is charged with to determine mental status. http://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/pdf/mental-health-pp-ti.pdf
