RMV Psychiatric Evaluations for Lanesborough 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 Lanesborough.
Lanesborough 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 Lanesborough
Lanesborough lies along Route 7 between Pittsfield and Williamstown, with Pontoosuc Lake and part of Mount Greylock State Reservation within its borders. Lanesborough residents are a drive from Pittsfield and North Adams, so a video appointment avoids Route 7 winter driving. 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 Lanesborough Drivers
Form MAB118 is handled by RMV Medical Affairs, which reviews completed forms centrally rather than through a local office. The nearest RMV Service Centers listed by the RMV include Pittsfield and North Adams.
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?
The substance abuse evaluation with risk of recidivism relates to OUI and DUI cases. Form MAB118 is requested by RMV Medical Affairs whenever it receives a report suggesting a psychiatric or medical condition may affect your ability to drive safely.
Who is allowed to complete Form MAB118?
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.
Do I have to travel from Lanesborough for this evaluation?
No. Lanesborough residents can complete the evaluation by secure video, or in person at our Medway office if you prefer.
Is a video evaluation accepted?
Yes. The clinical content and the completed form are the same whether you attend by video or in person at our Medway office.
How soon can I get an appointment?
In as little as 48 hours when your deadline is close. Expedited scheduling is available for an additional $225.
Impaired Driving Data for Lanesborough
The five-year MassDOT crash count for Lanesborough (2021 to 2025) is 429. That includes 24 crashes with suspected alcohol, 3 with suspected drug use and 1 fatal crashes.
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.
Our sourced article on recidivism, mental health and RMV evaluations covers anxiety and other conditions that come up in RMV reviews. You can also see the full list of conditions we treat.
For context, Lanesborough ranks 9th 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.
