I worked from home (UK for a US company) for 5 years. The first 2 were great; I realise now that the last three I was close to suffering from depression. Difficulty concentrating, hiding from problems, lack of energy etc. Less social interaction, no clear home/work time split, lack of the background encouragement and feedback you get constantly from working face to face with people, even the simple lack of exercise and time outside - these are all things you have to be really careful about.
