In cases where patients have more severe forms of mood disorders, their ability to drive motor vehicles will be individually decided by physicians.
Diseases that prevent you from driving a motor vehicle will also exclude eating, sleeping, habits and cravings, postnatal mental and behavioral disorders, and certain behavioral syndromes related to physiological disorders and physiological factors.
Still, a medical examination will be required to undergo the medical examination required to obtain a driver’s license, but the list of mental disorders for which driving is not possible is considerably shorter.
As before, driving licenses will not be issued to people with certain disorders manifesting as psychosis, as well as certain personality disorders that seriously affect consciousness, behavior or ability to adapt. The exemption will only apply in the event of a psychiatric report and, if necessary, periodic medical reviews.
As in the previous regulation, the health of professional drivers is subject to stricter restrictions than in the case of the categories of non-economic driving in the case of certain mental and behavioral disorders.
When deciding individually on a patient’s right to drive, the examining physician should consider the mental and character characteristics of the subject, the quality of adaptation, the reversibility of the disease process and its progression, and other factors.
A shorter review period will be available for individual judgment on mental and behavioral disorders.
In previous legislation, mild mental illnesses that did not affect driving ability prevented the driving of psychological or psychiatric help. Drivers, especially professionals, tended not to seek help, to hide illness or psychological problems, to be treated in private. Reducing the number of mental illnesses impeding the right to drive forms the basis for combating the stigmatization of mental illnesses in Lithuania.
