First of all can I just wish your daughter , yourself and the rest of your family all the luck in the world
We have been there with our DD ( if you haven’t seen my long running thread thread covering my daughters eating disorder ( 9 months in hospital but never subject to a section ) over the last nearly 4 years , it’s here https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/sho...d.php?t=932288

Now we haven’t been to the USA since my daughters issues came to the fore , so maybe we aren’t in the best position to offer advice, but my take on the ESTA is below
I have a difficulty reconciling ( from the link on the first response to your initial post ) the first situation on the ‘ answer yes’ section to the last answer on the ‘answer no’ section
I don’t actually know how you get signed off a mental health condition , but I would say it would be difficult even a few months after hospital discharge , to say you don’t still have a mental health condition. So to my mind your daughter even in a year’s time will likely fall into the category of having a mental health condition , And having a HISTORY of a threat to her own safety - so that would mean a YES answer in my eyes
But that last part of the NO answers , assuming she was on the road to recovery and not self harming , then I think she could answer NO there as the threat hopefully had gone by then
It’s a really difficult one

Hopefully others have better advice

The insurance situation as well may be a testing one as others have said

However I would just like to offer any assistance I can on the situation you are currently facing at the moment . Everyone is different but from my experience ( not just my daughter but also the friends she met at the Priory, a school friend she has , and a friend my age I have , severe mental health problems don’t just go away quickly

I wouldn’t be cancelling USA just yet , but a more realistic aim ( not least for insurance purposes ) may be a European holiday next summer

Please PM me with any questions you have and if I can help i will .Make sure you look after yourself !
