I'm not sure how many people realise that various mental illnesses have to be reported to the DVLA?
It's not just conditions such as schizophrenia, it also includes depression where your memory or concentration are badly affected, or you are agitated, or have suidical thoughts. This page on the Mind website is good:
www.mind.org.uk/information-support/legal-rights/driving/my-right-to-drive/#.Vd7647SJndl
This is something that has never been told to me by any MH professional. I think that depression involving agitation/suicidal thoughts/poor concentration is really quite common. Has anyone on here been through the process?
