Pms, Migraines And Depression Can Get You Arrested For Dui
By Andrew P. Jones, M.D.-6743
I didn’t make this one up. Richard Salzman, attorney from Hollywood, Florida wrote a not so humorless article earlier this month which states various health conditions that cause behaviors that can be perceived by police officers as public intoxication. These can get you pulled over and arrested for DUI.
Salzman writes that motorists in less than perfect health can find themselves wrongly arrested on criminal DUI charges. Since Pre-mentstrual Syndrome (PMS) or Pre-menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a medical condition that can alter behavior, induce rapid emotional changes, dizziness, irritablity, anxiety and nervousness - these are symptoms that police officers associate with alcolhol or drug impairment.
In addition to PMS, I also treat many patients with headaches and depression, both of which can lead to altered mental states and confuse arresting officers. For example, sufferers of migraines often have severe dizziness, nausea and vomiting, in addition to intense photophobia rendering them nearly blind in the daylight. Sudden onset of a while under these conditions can lead to erratic driving,
poor vision and someone who appears to be quite intoxicated to a police officer once pulled over.
Depressed patients have overlapping symptoms with someone who is in the lethargic phase of alcohol consumption.
Mr. Salzman discusses and strategies for unfairly tagged motorists to get out of their charges. I will defer the lawyer advice to him. But for the medical conditions, these are serious matters and unfortunately, mainstream medicine has dropped the ball on treating these conditions, all of which are curable. Dr. Andrew P. Jones, M.D. is the Medical Director for the Women’s Health Institute of Texas. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and by the American Academy of Biologically Identical Hormone Therapy.Find out more about Dr. Jones and the cure for headaches at: www.Migraine-Headaches-Information.com/.
