Would you date someone who has a severe mental disorder?

I would love to, as I do have a mild form of autism so I could relate to having mental problems. But because of my autism, I'm not sure if it'd work well.

 

At least, my mom thinks I wouldn't be able to handle it when I told her I'd love to date another Aspie sometime in my life. She said I'd need somebody without any problems so they could handle me.

I know someone who's dated a guy with depression. She said it was the hardest thing she had to go through and the saddest thing is, she wasn't able to break up with him for 3 months because she was afraid he would relapse if they broke up. 

 

So yeah, I'm really not sure if I would date someone with a severe mental disorder. It depends if I really love them.

The question was badly written and sounded ambiguous

It was "Would you date someone with severe mental disorder?"

One of my best friends and I were in love a few years back.  Mental illness runs in both of our families, and she witnessed her father's struggles from it growing up.  We decided to not date because the chances were very high for our children to have the same illness.  

 

Now she's married to, and has one child with, a man with the very same disorder  :cry:

 

The answer is maybe.  Is she medicated, how long has she been medicated, what are the chances that we'd produce children with the disorder, and how much do we love each other?

Maybe? I have autism and social anxiety myself, but... Well, my mom has depression, and living with her was really stressful for me at times. She'd always get sad and act like the whole word was against her. She always made everything about her. Not sure if that was the depression or a different mental problem, but if someone did something she didn't like, then, in her mind, it was a personal attack against her, and if you didn't agree she'd get upset, and there was no reasoning with her. Like, I have my own aforementioned problems, everything isn't always about your problems. It was just too much for me, which is why I don't really talk to her anymore, and even the psychologist and other people seemed to approve of me not being around her, so. I get the impression that someone with a serious mental disorder isn't the best for me, and it probably isn't good for them either.
