Hi there

If your condition is being well managed and has been stable for the last six months, this should go in your favour. Are you able to get a letter confirming this from your GP or CPN if you have one, that would also help.

When you're interviewed for the section 7, it's important that you're open with them about what happened but also that you have turned things around and are managing your anxiety successfully without medication. Keep your responses child focussed and reassuring, your child is your priority and you wouldn't seek overnight stays if you didn't feel you were able to cope well.

All the best
