Driver’s Licensure and Driving Outcomes Among Youths with Mood Disorders

Young adults with mood disorders were 30% less likely to acquire a driver’s license compared to their peers without mood disorders. Young adults with mood disorders had slightly higher overall crash rates at 12- and 48-months post-licensure and had double the rate of license suspensions compared to their peers without mood disorders.

They did not find elevated risk of overall crashes, at-fault crashes, or crashes that occurred in the morning associated with a Z-drug prescription.
