Read a random definition: FDCA

A quick definition of mental capacity:

Mental capacity refers to a person's ability to understand things and make decisions. It's like having a strong brain that can think clearly and make good choices. Sometimes, people may have a hard time with mental capacity because of things like sickness or injury. This can make it difficult for them to do things they normally would be able to do. Mental capacity is important for things like making a will or being responsible for a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mental capacity refers to a person's ability to understand and make decisions.

Examples:

  • A person with dementia may have diminished mental capacity and may not be able to make decisions about their medical care.
  • A person who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol may have decreased mental capacity and may not be able to understand the consequences of their actions.
  • A person who is of legal age and sound mind has the mental capacity to enter into a binding contract.

These examples illustrate how mental capacity can affect a person's ability to make decisions and understand the consequences of their actions. It is important to consider a person's mental capacity when making legal or medical decisions that may affect them.
