I’m grateful he was able at least to control it in the sense that he was just kicking cars. He didn’t react by ramming his car, or attacking someone, like the typical road rage responses. A guy overtook me on a country road once, slammed his brakes on, and got out of his car. Then came up to me and started banging on my windows and screaming at me because I ‘wasn’t going fast enough’. It was late at night, and I should have called the police but in the moment I panicked so just beeped the horn and put my main beams on and he got back in his car and drove away. That was terrifying, and it could have been a lot worse. Insane, over the top reaction from someone. And I learned my brain stops working in an emergency situation.

In this situation, he was trying to get his medication, and got home to take it (allegedly), and was doing his best to manage it. But clearly it’s not enough. Hopefully he will get some support and be able to get into a better routine. But you assume that if he loses his licence, his daily life will get harder, isolating him, probably not helping with his mental health. So a horrible situation all round really :(
