Depression can easily occur for many reasons, probably most significate would be seperation from the family, especially during family events and holidays.
New drivers can become depressed as they attempt to "adapt" to their new "lifestlye".
Thanks Drew. Kind of what I thought too. Any lifestyle change "can" cause depression, especially with the irregular sleep on the road. I was just curious as to how many people feel that it's prevalent in the industry.
