My response:

There is a "slight" possibility that you could have the judgment reversed (or set aside) due to mental infirmity. However, it would be an uphill battle to prove, at the time of litigation, that you did not have the mental capability to prosecute or defend the action, or assist your attorney in the matter. It would also be difficult for this to occur if you failed to mention the problem "on the record".

But, who knows, with a consultation from an attorney in your area, and with a complete understanding of your entire situation, there's always a possibility. If you don't try, you'll never know.

Good luck to you.
