Dunno..
..I've not read the replies but I've recently got my license back after being disqualified for drink driving, and as my medical notes say "Paranoid Schizophrenic" and I have to see a psychiatrist four times a year I thought I'd reply.

When I first reapplied for my license I filled it the form honestly and mentioned illness and medication. A few weeks later I got a form asking for details of doctor/psychiatrist. Filled that out with the name of my usual psych and then about 2 months later my new license appeared.. no different to anyone else's - I wont have to worry about it for the next ten years. I know other people with the same diagnosis who have regular licenses too.

Sounds like you got an asshole in the DVLA office. Why would you tell them about any episode anyway? All you need tell them is your diagnosis, meds and doctor's contact details (can be GP if you want). And I reackon most doctors will be on your side with this.
