Abstract

In this paper, I examine the connections between bipolar disorder and consent. I defend the view that many (although far from all) individuals with bipolar disorder are competent to consent to a wide variety of things when they are in a manic state.

  • Clinical Competence
  • Informed Consent
  • Mental Health
  • Mental Disorders
  • Paternalism
