Question 7858
According to the World Health Organization, depression affects more than 300 million people. If we have a depressive disorder, we should know that...
- this illness does not allow you to obtain a category B driver's license under any circumstances.
- the medications used to treat it can cause changes that affect driving.
- this illness does not affect the ability to drive safely.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the medications used to treat it can cause changes that affect driving.
Antidepressants can cause drowsiness, tiredness, dizziness, or blurred vision, especially when you start treatment or change your dose. Depression alone does not prevent you from holding a category B driver’s license, although it does affect your ability to drive.
