Here's another question, How are you gonna know if you're dating someone with a mental illness? They don't wear labels ya know. There are many capable functioning people in the world who have a recongnized, diagnosed mental illness and you'd never know it.

is the mental illness controllable, what kind of mental illness

to many variables to just be able to say yes or no.

many things to consider, have they lived productive normal lives with this illness, how often does it affect them to the point where problems occur ,

it could go either way , if they manage well and are in controll of the illness then yes if they let it control every aspect of their lives and are a danger to myself , my kids then no

If we let it to the ones that decide what a mental illness is, everything we do would be an illness.

When you let the curer decide what is an illness you get a conflict of interest.

Not saying there is no mental illness but if you look at how the world is analyse as soon as we are born there should be someone beside us to help our mental illnesses.

If they knew and were confident it could be treated and were taking those steps then yes I would.

I can't address this as a blanket statement. It's a case-by-case thing. I've done it in the past.

it would depend on the person and the illness.

and yup I have dated people with mental illnesses. (or upon reflection I do know that my X has antisocial persoanlity disorder...and after the horrors inflicted upon me by him........I am careful who I involve myself with.

and I have dated people with PTSD also.
