Hi,
Two years I have not updated the situation, but of course, things are even worse than I thought
Of course, I still can't get enrolled for driving licence, since even worse administrative problems arose
In the meantime, I received a diagnosis in December 2008, confirmed to another specialist in January 2009 : ADHD, and I have to take Ritalin.
This doesn't change I have to declare it to the administration, since it's a mental health pathology (it should have been cared in neurology, but this fact doesn't change the problem, since a pathology in neurology or psychiatry has to be declared at the administration for driving licence in France).
Things are administratively worse since my diagnosis, since ADHD is not recognized to adults in France (psychiatry in France are 40-50 years late, we can say that it's Middle Age !).
I have spoken with a GP which is in an association for doctors which helps victims of body damages with the experts (whatever the cause : medical error, hospital infection, injuries from a home accident....). Of course, I didn't fit the criteria to receive the help of this association, since my administrative trouble are after the diagnosis of a condition which is not relative to an external event. But they didn't care of this fact, this doctor has helped me and if he reads this message, I thank him very much for his help
He told me that the expert psychiatrist cannot make again the initial diagnosis, which has done the physician. He can only tell how long I can get my licence before another exam.
However, I have learnt by some research on the Internet that if the doctors in 2nd grade (Appeal Commission, which comes after the Primary Commission) says that your pathology is chronic and definitive and makes you definitively unable to drive, you can't do nothing to be administratively able to drive for all your life. What I fear most is that a doctor uses this point of procedure in the inability report, without being sure at 100% that it's the truth : for some pathologies (like Alzheimer dementia or Alzheimer-like dementia), you can be absolutely sure that it'll never improve and the person will be unable to drive all life long ; but for ADHD, or even pathologies like bipolar 1 disorder or schizophrenia, you can't predict the evolution 1, 2, 3, 10, 20, 50 years later (even the best psychiatrist can't, and even Miss Cleo can't do it). In two words, this point has to be used with plenty of caution, and there is no mean to control in France the level of caution for this point of procedure's use.
Here is the update after two years. I try to solve this story, but it's not an easy task to solve (I took 3 months to find the right persons to help me, because even the best professionals in the law field often mix up with this process, even in its basic steps)
