How does depression affect a person while driving?


From depression, a person is full of gloomy feelings and thoughts, but how does this affect driving? This was reported in the general directorate of traffic of Spain.

Firstly, and this may sound crazy, you risk losing interest not only in your favorite hobbies, but also in what is happening on the road while you are driving.

Second, your reactions can be deadly slow. This will backfire at times when you need to make a quick decision. Third, depressive disorders reduce concentration. Fourth, antidepressants often have side effects that can be unpredictable while driving.

Driving is not recommended in the first weeks of taking antidepressants. And if you are not treated with pills, but you have depression, then you better consult a specialist, and the machine can wait for better times.

  • “Drive” can be read in Telegram.
