Mental Health -Schizophrenic & Driving

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to know those with Schizophrenia do you all drive? Are you medicated or un-medicated? How is the experience when driving?

I just got my diagnosis and now stressing and depressed because I searched google about driving and not sure if we will be treated differently and some new rule will restrict us from driving? I mean I drive perfectly fine but it would suck if people like us would get looked down on and they make us not able to drive. If this the case then I should of never of got this diagnosis. 😞

Who ever determines if one is good to drive when you have a medical condition?

thanks
