Mental illness and admissibility

Express Entry

Hello everyone, I had a single episode of paranoid delusions(psychotic episode) in May 2023. I was never hospitalized, never had any encounter with law enforcement and didn't show any self-harm behavior or behavior of harming others. However, I have been taking medications since then to manage my condition. At the moment, I am enrolled in MBA and learning French. I did work/resumed for a year in 2024 before starting my studies again in 2025. Would this cause ircc to deny my application on medical grounds when I apply for PR next year? I know my application might get delayed, but I was wondering if anyone with a similar condition got approved or is it a straight denial?
