As a general rule, the answer is YES. The court has great deal of discretion and there is no inherent right to delay a legal proceeding simply due to health or mentation issues. If you are not competent to proceed, the court may need to appoint a guardian, but then you will be out of that decison making loop. You would be well served to hire a lawyer here as they can also mitigate your involvement in the legal proceedings by attending hearings your behalf and acting as the contact point for resolving issues.
