Went to renew my driver’s license today only to learn that I had a mental health hold put on me
Now I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to maybe be able to drive again in several weeks
So much for de-stigmatization, that’ll teach me not to tell people about my problems
Apparently if there’s a mental health diagnosis, Utah puts a hold pending medical review: https://casetext.com/regulation/utah-administrative-code/public-safety/title-r708-driver-license/rule-r708-7-functional-ability-in-driving-responsibilities-for-physicians-and-drivers
Since my depression hasn’t been totally asymptomatic for two years, I fall under Safety assessment level 2, which requires an annual medical report (or potentially SAL 6, depending on how seriously you take the side effect warnings on Zoloft)
