Do they politely ignore them? Or do religious people tend to ignore the reality of mental illness? Is it easier for them to deal with the reality of a physical illness?

My experience is that almost without exception, the collective urge is to remove them from the congregation.

i've seen one politely ignored, at least, but, in some congregations, you'd be hard put to distiguish the ill from the well. many consider religion a FORM of mental illness! mental illness IS physical illness, by the by - the brain is physical, and the source of mental ills.
