Should people with schizophrenia be allowed to drive? – Five Reasons Why They Should

I recall a few months after I was released from the psychiatric hospital; I received by mail an invitation to an interview conducted by a psychologist from the organization that is responsible to authorize people for driving vehicles. That experience was very humiliating for me. Here are five reasons why people with schizophrenia or people that had psychosis disorder, should be allowed to keep they’re driving license:

1) A reverse discrimination
People that have schizophrenia should be treated as people with like any other disease such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or any other chronic disease. The fact that we go through hallucinations and seeing things, don’t have to consequent in our driving license deprivation with a sweeping way.

2) The right to be independent
People that goes through schizophrenia disorder, should be insist of keeping they’re independency. Driving license is the most significant sign for being independent; therefore no one holds the privilege to deprive that independency.

3) We are more careful
People with schizophrenia are better drivers. Years of speaking with other sufferers and my self have shown me that people who went through any kind of crisis in life and especially a mentally crisis, were to be better drivers. The reason for that is that we are in a kind of supervision by other care givers or institutes.

4) A personal example
People that went through a psychotic disorder feels necessity to give a personal example for what they do, therefore be better drivers. The reason for that is the scorn by the community. The widespread opinion is that sufferers are not too good for anything, what makes us prove exactly the opposite in all our deeds.

5) We are calm
As contrary to what is being a common opinion, people with schizophrenia tend to be calmer than others, therefore conduct our cars in a calm way. The reason for that is that most of the time we are in a remission and under some kind of treatment, that causes us to accept our angers in a more healthy and responsible way.
