OCD Class 1 chances?

Hi all,
I am going to get my initial medical done on Monday. However, a couple of years ago, I suffered from a fairly bad case of OCD. I was on Sertraline and on CBT and the treatment worked well enough to the point I feel great and happy with my life. I was discharged in August 2014 and have had no symptoms since. I know that I will need to be referred to a mental health specialist at Gatwick after my initial appointment.

The other concern I have, which is worrying me a lot, is that my brother currently suffers from OCD. I know that they mention family history in the application form, but I'm really worried in case this further reduces my chances.

Should the OCD and the family history act as an obstacle to me getting a Class 1?
