What effect can depression have on driving ability?

Correct answer

Distraction and sleepiness in some people.

It can impair concentration and contribute to distraction, fatigue or sleepiness; anxiety and other symptoms may coexist. Effects vary with the person, illness phase and treatment. Effective treatment can improve abilities, while some medicines have adverse effects. If symptoms or medication impair safety, do not drive and consult a healthcare professional without changing treatment yourself.
