What is the test for mental illness of mood disorder?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from Lapierre v. Lapierre, 1991 CanLII 7886 (SK QB):

In a situation where the mental illness of mood disorder is concerned, I interpret the principles enunciated by Vancise, J.A., in Talbot v. Henry, to include the necessity of a full review of the factual background in so far as it applies to the mental illness and any possible manifestations of the illness.
