Truckers ignoring their mental health

Truckers ignoring their mental health

Quote:
Truckers are risking their lives by ignoring mental health problems, new research shows.
A survey of more than 1,300 truckers driving through NSW, conducted by the University of Queensland and funded by Rotary, has found that six per cent of drivers are suffering depression.

You can replace the word "truckers" with the word "men". I would bet that 6% figure would pretty closely match the general population.

Oops, sorry. Just giving you a hard time since everyone is giving me a hard time for getting married last month after I swore that I never would. Besides, I never claimed to have good mental health.

At this point I'd rather have a new rig than a new wife.
