I have two questions. It was stated that some people lost capacity to make a decision while going through the application process. Obviously, I am not a doctor, but it appears like losing capacity very quickly. Even if it is three, four, five or six weeks, in what scenario would somebody have capacity in week 1 and have lost capacity by week 3?
