Aptitud para conducir de los pacientes con trastornos mentales. Su evaluación en los centros de reconocimiento de conductores

Given the higher risk of accidents and compromised fitness to drive in drivers with certain mental or substance abuse disorders, evaluation of these drivers should be individualized. An overall assessment (age, other disorders, psychomotor assessment, medication, substances of abuse, etc) should be performed, paying special attention to symptoms that could be due to the mental disorder or the effects of medication.
