Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: can affect the ability to drive safely.
Depression can affect your attention, your decisions, and how drowsy and fatigued you feel. If you drive daily, do not leave it untreated, because without treatment it lasts longer and gets worse. Tell your doctor that you drive daily so they can assess whether you can drive and what precautions you need to take.
