Mental illness or medication can sometimes affect how people drive. Some drivers may need to take extra care or may become too unwell to drive.
You must tell the relevant authorities if you have schizophrenia and they will decide if you can keep your license. Regulations may vary from place to place but you may need to have a medical examination, a driving test, or your doctor may need to confirm whether you’re fit to drive.
Your insurance cover could also be affected if you drive and haven’t told the authorities about your condition or if your doctor tells you not to drive.
