Abstract We argue that willpower as well as its depletion may, in some circumstances, adversely impact on clinical decision-making and patient care. This psychological phenomenon has been dubbed ego depletion in social psychology. Willpower and its depletion which is known as ‘ego depletion’ are well-established and validated theoretical constructs in social psychology and have been studied across a range of experimental contexts.
