Ever wondered how would it feel to live with someone who has a mental illness? Ever lived with one? We people often crib about our appearances, health, and try what not to make ourselves according to the set standards of the society. Now, what about those people who are born with a psychological problem or encounter one during their lifetime. So, if you ever encountered living with such a soul, especially if that person is your life partner what would you do? Leave her/him? Curse? Probably that's the most easiest way out to respond. Yet have you ever wondered about how much weaknesses do you imbibe within you? How easy it is to blaim someone who is infront of our eyes than something which we imbibe. If we think about it then may be it won't be that hard to live with that person. When our dear ones accept and support us after knowing our faults, then why can't be accept and support those who suffer a mental illness.
The stigma of the psychological disorders needs to be broken and a more supportive measure needs to be taken up to help those with a mental illness.

My sister-in-law was schizophrenic, it is a mental disease, but she was the most kind woman I have ever met. My brother divorced, I have always been close to her. I think that my brother did the wrong thing. He knew since the beginning she had a problem, she needed help.

I have not but I was in the medical field and have worked with before , it is difficult at times because you do not know at all what is going through their heads , we can be on one topic and they are just going in different direction .
The best thing to do is try your best to understand them because at times they change their moods for a reason , similar to a baby . Now it does depend on how each persons situation is but this is based off the ones I have worked with . Been in a psychiatric unit for about 2-3 months when I was in nursing school

We cannot just watched them like that especially when they are uncontrollable, the best thing to do is to bring them to specialized facility just for them so that they will be given importance.

Interesting. I have never lived with such a person but I believe it is not easy. If my life partner was to have such a condition, I would not leave them. I would pray that I get courage and have that sense of caring because it is what I would like them to do to me too.

Why would you stop caring when they become sick? This is a mistake people do and I support your opinion
