Hi jlzmilne121 
Yes you will be able to drive again. Has my partner has got the same as yourself. And I know it's a horrible illness, and my partner also has physotic episodes, and really bad mood swings in witch he can't control his temper. And my partner drives and has done for the past 30 odd years. And he's had his illness for nearly 20 years. So yes you will be fine. Just take one day at a time and medication regularly and you'll be fine. Hope this has helped you in some way. Take care and I wish you all the very best l.

I would check the DVLA s website and ask your doctor,  MT team just so you know 100%.
Id think it probably would depend on your medication

There is lots of information on the MIND website here.

You must tell the DVLA if you have paranoid schizophrenia but they should look at each case individually.

You can contact the DVLA as follows:
