The 70% of people who participate in courses of recovery of points of the driving license had suffered at least one psychopathological disorder at some point in their lives. This is the main conclusion of the study "Psycopathology and traffic offences in individuals who lost their driving license", performed by the group of Psychiatry, Mental Health and Addictions of Vall d'Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) and led by Dr. Sergi Valero. The data were presented last November at the http://congresinternacionalsct2016.cat/en/" VII International Conference on European Traffic Policies held in Barcelona.The aim of the study was to determine the psychopathological dysfunctions in populations who had showed risk behavior during driving. To do so, they analyzed 400 cases in collaboration with the Catalan Traffic Service and the Justice Department of the Catalan Government. The result, according to Dr. Valero, is that "the loose of driving license is multiplied in cases of previous clinic load".Comorbidity and ADHDThe study highlights that the 60% of people who attend these courses have or had had problem with drug abuse, especially alcohol. It must also be added the high level of comorbidity, as the 43% of them had another diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. Between reoffenders, the comorbidity is even higher. So "to focus in people who suffer only one disorder is just a part of the story", as highlights the principal author of the study.A relevant fact is that the number of people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in these courses in between 4 and 5 times higher than general population. Between them, 3 people out of every 4 suffered a second pathology, almost always with alcohol abuse or dependence.Given these data, Dr. Valero concludes, "the psychiatric disorder is completely forgotten" in the courses of recovery of the driving license. He assures that the solution is not a police solution, but a reorientation of the courses. Accordingly, he suggests introducing legal measures -although it is a state competence- to perform a psychiatric evaluation of the repeat assistants to the courses in order to detect any disorder. This will allow assigning psychiatric resources and thereby dealing with the principal causes of recurrence.
