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

    Is depression enough alone for a mental health hold? Feels like that should require more criteria.

      If you are taking prescription medication or have declared a mental health condition, you usually have to fill out an additional form that your healthcare provider needs to complete and then the DMV goes from there.

      If you don’t declare you have a mental health condition and/or that you are taking medication, you are lying to the government and they don’t like that.

      So your options are fucking yourself or maybe really get fucked by the government.
