Yes it is very hard. But ... when you love some one , you try to under stand & give enough love & give good treatment. This way the person whom you love will come out of it soon.

A little bit it is correct but if the other person is with you by heart and soul and thinks for your welfare then it doesnot matter..

But it can be an excuse to get rid of duty by a friend..

There are a couple of very important things to know. The first is that sometimes people with mental disorders may find someone else who has a mental disorder and experience a connection they never felt before, because they both are dealing with a similar disorder. In that situation sometimes it can be a very positive connection, because two people may be able to work on their recovery and positive treatment together. Other times it can turn into a very negative situation, because the two people may not try to work on positive things and turn the relationship into something destructive for both people. If you have a mental disorder and are dating someone else who has a mental disorder please keep this in mind.

Now let's say you don't have a mental disorder and are dating someone who has a mental disorder, but is in denial of their disorder, doesn't want help, doesn't want to work on the disorder, is doing destructive things to themselves, and is not healthy. In that scenario a relationship can be very difficult, because the person may be acting out in various ways that don't help anyone. Even in a relationship where someone is working on their disorder they may be acting out in negative ways that the other person in the relationship can't handle and in that scenario the person without the mental disorder needs to talk about how the relationship affects their life to evaluate the benefits and hardships.

Now let's say you are in a relationship with someone who is completely aware of their disorder, is seeking help and working on everything as much as they can. In that scenario a relationship can be a great thing for both people. Generally a person who is aware of their disorder and open about it can be more open with their emotions and open to growing. The common trap is if they make everything about themselves during their recovery in which case much like every relationship the couple needs to find a compromise. So to answer your question it depends on the level of awareness, treatment and willingness of both people in a relationship to determine the level of difficulty of being in a relationship with someone who has a mental disorder.
