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 exactly, each situation has to be looked at individually. I'm sure there are some that have dated someone with a mental illness and didn't even know it and still don't. Mental illness has such shame and embarassment placed upon it and it's ridiculous. No one can control having a mental illness anymore than someone with a physical disability can control it. But with proper medications and the right doctors it's manageable. And the people who do this live very fulfilling and productive lives. |

I would also pose the question, how many of us have gotten involved with a person only to discover later that they were more than likely suffering from some sort of undiagnosed form of mental illness or borderline personality disorder? How many people have these issues who are walking amongst us but they have never had a clinical assessment? Now try taking that with you into the dating scene.

Absolutely. They're usually very creative individuals and pretty much open to just about anything. They like to run with scissors too.

I've been in that position plenty of times! Yes I was with a man at one point that I suspected of being a sociopath. Maybe not full blown and maybe not dangerous (yet) but he was strange. He just had that weirdness about him and he exhibited some of the classic traits like "lack of empathy." |

having dated diferent women and working with other people ( men and women) I have found that just like anyone else we all have some form of "mental" problems.. how each of us deals with it makes the difference some people can deal , some are overwhelmed by it and seek help.. sometimes things continue to get heaped on someone.. who is to say at any given time we all have a "mental " illness. suicidal/ homocidial/ anti social/ obsessive compulsive/ add/ etc etc.

I have worked with the mentally disturbed people for the past 11 years and can spot them a mile away. I also have to take classes every year to pick up on cues that are thrown out that something might be askew.

My longest relationship was with someone who had some serious mental issues -- she even stabbed me once, when she was drunk -- but she had a lot of truly wonderful qualities, when she could keep herself off the substances. And she was hospitalized a couple of times, which seemed to help (temporarily).
In the end, it was the addictions that ended the relationship -- but I loved her, and I tried everything I could to help her with her problems. Some people just don't really want to be helped, though. What I learned -- when the addictions become more important than the relationship, it's time to move on.... |
