Hi,
I was just wondering how many people have reported their mental health condition to the department of transport? I want to do the right thing though am scared I will need to undertake a driving assessment and won't pass it (e.g. not so good at certain types of parking). I do feel safe driving though.
Also, does the severity make it more important? E.g. mild anxiety/anxiety vs bipolar or schizophrenia.
Thank you.

I think you need to check your states transport authority .It seems if your mental illness affects your driving you need to notify them.

Thank you, I am aware I 'should' report my condition, but am worried about the outcome. I have a feeling a lot of people don't report their mental health conditions......
