Is it safe for a depressed person to drive?

[Moonlander]

I heard news of someone who veered into the river while driving on a bridge. This raised questions whether the person is in his right senses. For all we know he may be battling with depression and the thought would just occur to him to end it all
Do you think people who are battling chronic depression be allowed to drive?

There are levels to depression. If it is mild and at the early stages then it is okay. But if it is at the dire stage in which the victim has even been showing suicidal signs, it’s best to restrain such individual from driving.
