Hashem, for some reason, decided to make someone meshugenneh, and they deserve the same respect as someone who is physically ill.
rebdoniel-believe it or not, you do not have to be mentally ill to kill someone. Murders take place because of revenge, greed, or just plain evil. There was a study done that revealed most mass murders are not mentally ill, since they plan out their attack, which most mentally ill people are not capable of with their disordered thinking. Mental illness is not something to be taken lightly, but that does not mean you have to write people off right away because of their illness.
Not all mentally ill people are violent. I have a relative with Schizophrenia, which is often depicted as an illness where the person is capable of hurting others. This person has never committed any violent acts, even when off meds.
I agree that mental illness is not just any illness. People with severe mental illnesses should probably(always exceptions) not consider marriage/kids. Not everyone is up to the test of marrying someone with an illness either, but these people do exist.
Don’t know if this is active anymore but thought I’d add my piece. I have depression/anxiety, as well as a sibling with a severe disorder. Mental illness, as with anything else, can make or break a perrson. I think I have become stronger because of it, and I think I am more prepared for life, i.e, marriage, etc, than most girls my age. A lot of it is self-image, if you think you are a person who is worthy of a great relationship,you will most likely have an easier time creating and maintaining one.I recently created a blog that I hope will help others to improve their self-image by sharing artwork etc that helped them cope with their illness
