Among many questionable topics, this seems to be an issue that is so incredibly fact-situational dependent that I cannot think of any useful general commentary that would be helpful to the parents or family of individuals suffering from such challenges. I would also concur with RY23 that in most cases, these individuals need to be with someone who does not magnify their own issues and instead hopefully find someone who can leverage their strengths. And finally, I would respectfully disagree with Joeseph and submit there are individuals whose issues are so challenging they probably should NOT be encouraged to marry until there is some improvement. In ALL such cases, the advice and extensive input from mental health professionals and the few rabbonim/rebitzens with special training in this area should be sought.
