Something like Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia or Asperger's Syndrome.

I think it depends on the person (without the disorder). Some people aren't strong enough to love someone for all their flaws. Sadly today not a lot of people are strong enough to deal with that sort of thing and it's sad b/c everyone deserves to be loved and it's not always their fault that they have an issue. Personally, I would try my best if I truly loved the person, but until it happened I don't know how I would do. I can only hope I wouldn't be shallow about it.

We all have mental disorders, just some are more dangerous than others.
I used to date someone who's brother was skizophrenic (spelling?) and he said it was due to a trauma, but looking at his parents behaviour, I can bet all my money that it was genetic, and maybe from both sides. The father would kick me out of his house for no reason, then complain about me being an ungrateful brat because I never visited him. He would also get violent with his sons, tried to choke the skizo son once. His mother was as absurd as the father, and the sisters had to sleep with the door locked because the skizo brother was a danger. He threatened to hurt me and take me by force twice.
I don't know if it was hereditary or not, I don't know if my ex is at risk of developing skizo, but I decided not to find out.

What kind of mental disorder? Some are easier to deal with than others? Add some information. I used to work with the chronically mentally ill and they can be very challenging on many levels and then there are side effects of the medications, lower sex drive, depression, apathy...So much depends on WHAT kind of mental disorder we are talking about....

I recently got out of a relationship with someone that is bipolar. There were alot of fights and scary moments, but deep down he was a wonderful person, that made me laugh and we always had a good time. No regrets, especially since I got a gorgeous daughter out of the deal.

Not intentionally, but as is true more often than not, certain disorders( depression, manifestations of bi-polar disorder, and certain OCDs) don't make themselves apparent until you're already knee-deep into a situation. (Then too, sometimes you have to wonder if maybe YOU'RE the one with the disorder...we're all a bit quirky to varying degrees.)

i do think it depends on the disorder and how much you can deal with. but it's important not to discount someone solely b/c of a mental disorder. i dated a men who was deaf and it took getting used to, but it wasn't an issue in our relationship.

Nope. I wouldn't want all the baggage that comes with someone who has a mental disorder.

Nobody's normal. We all have problems. As long as I'm not causing any trouble to the person, I'd sure date her.

No,
I need someone who is an equal to me in every way. Everyone would agree with that I think!
