RMV Psychiatric Evaluations for Great Barrington Drivers
If RMV Medical Affairs has asked you to complete a Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118), Greater Boston Psychiatric Services can complete it for adults in Great Barrington. Villages and neighborhoods we serve include Housatonic, Van Deusenville and Risingdale.
Great Barrington clients can meet with us by secure video from home, which means no drive to Medway. If you would rather meet face to face, our office is at 165 Main Street, Suite 111A, Medway, MA 02053.
Getting Your Evaluation Done from Great Barrington
Great Barrington lies on the Housatonic River, with Route 7 and Route 23 as main routes and the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center downtown. Berkshire County is largely rural and the nearest large offices are a drive away, so a video appointment saves travel. If you received a Form MAB118 request from RMV Medical Affairs, the deadline on the notice is what we work against.
Local Courts and RMV Offices for Great Barrington Drivers
Form MAB118 is handled by RMV Medical Affairs, which reviews completed forms centrally rather than through a local office. The nearest RMV Service Center listed by the RMV is in Pittsfield.
A Medical Affairs request is separate from any court case. You can be asked for this evaluation even if you have never been charged with anything.
What Is the RMV Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118)?
RMV Medical Affairs requests a Psychiatric Evaluation (Form MAB118) when it has received a report, from a physician, family member or law enforcement official, suggesting that a driver may have a psychiatric or medical condition affecting their ability to drive safely. It is a different requirement from the substance abuse evaluation with risk of recidivism: it is not tied to an OUI or DUI case.
Massachusetts requires the form to be completed by a physician licensed in the state or a psychiatric nurse practitioner, which are the credential types on our clinical team.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the RMV substance abuse evaluation?

Massachusetts requires the form to be completed by a physician licensed in Massachusetts or a psychiatric nurse practitioner, both credential types on our clinical team.

Impaired Driving Data for Great Barrington
From 2021 to 2025, Great Barrington had 866 reported crashes. 34 were flagged for suspected alcohol, 5 for suspected drug use, and 5 were fatal.
Data come from the MassDOT IMPACT Crash Data Portal (accessed October 2026). Suspected alcohol and drug flags depend on what was recorded at the scene, so they probably understate impaired driving, and crashes are not the same as OUI charges.
A Form MAB118 evaluation is usually prompted by a report that a driver may have a condition affecting safe driving. Our article, Recidivism, Mental Health and RMV Evaluations in Massachusetts, explains the RMV process and what the research says about bipolar disorder. See also the conditions we treat.
For context, Great Barrington ranks 4th out of 9 towns we serve in the Berkshires for total crashes recorded by MassDOT between 2021 and 2025. The Berkshires page lists them all.
