Default When should you invoke the 25th amendment?

As a reminder, the 25th amendment was proposed by Congress and ratified by the states in the aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, it provides the procedures for replacing the president or vice president in the event of death, removal, resignation, or incapacitation.
I don't want this to get political, but there is talk about invoking the 25th amendment.
My question is - aside from death, when do you think it's appropriate to invoke the 25th amendment on a sitting president?

How could this possibly NOT get political?

the strategy is to throw as much as you can onto the wall and maybe something will stick

pretty silly behavior...but if you have nothing else and you are desperate, that's what you do

lol
