A driver who has been diagnosed with depression and is prescribed lithium may be certified if:
  1. The driver is asymptomatic.
  2. Has no impairment that interferes with safe driving.
  3. Has lithium levels that are maintained in the therapeutic range.
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - All of the above

Studies show there is little evidence to link lithium to driving accidents. A driver who currently takes lithium should be certified provided that: the driver is asymptomatic, the driver has no impairment that interferes with safe driving, and the driver has lithium levels that are maintained in the therapeutic range.
