Correct answer
Yes, such as depression or epilepsy.
There are illnesses such as depression or epilepsy whose treatment, or lack of treatment, may pose a risk when driving. For example, depression may cause the driver to become easily distracted and fail to pay sufficient attention to the road. This may lead to driving errors or unexpected reactions. In addition, depression may make the driver feel more tired or drowsy, which is dangerous when driving. In the case of epilepsy, if it is not treated properly, there is a risk of having a seizure at the wheel, which is very dangerous both for the driver and for others on the road.
