Abstract

Road traffic accidents are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. It has been estimated that over 25% of drivers involved in accidents had impaired driving due to alcohol, drugs, illness or emotional distress. This paper reviews the association between road traffic accidents and psychiatric illness including the effects of alcohol, drugs and psychotropic medication.
