Does a diagnosis of bipolar disorder prevent a driver from becoming certified?
  1. Not necessarily; a determination is not made on the diagnosis alone
  2. Yes, in all circumstances
  3. Only in severe cases of bipolar disorder
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - Not necessarily; a determination is not made on the diagnosis alone

Bipolar disorder is not necessarily a condition which will interfere with a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle. A decision to disqualify a driver should not be made on the diagnosis alone, but on other considerations as well, such as function and relevant medical history.
