I find this topic most amusing. You people have turned back the clock on the strides us professionals have made in eliminating the Stigma of Mental Illness in the Frum community. It’s amazing how the Frum community is lagging so far behind the rest of the world. Now I know that Mentally Ill Should Not get married. If this would be true many here in the CR should not get married.
1 out of 4 people are mentally ill. It’s better to know s/o is Mentally Ill and is being treated, not like most people out there who don’t know. You have just given more of a reason why in the Frum community people don’t go for help because they will be stigmatized for it.
The truth is the vast majority of Mentally Ill can get married, but there are a very few at the extreme ends that maybe shouldn’t.
The way Mental Illness is portrayed here is you make it sound e/o who is ill is from the extreme ends of psychosis. Nothing could be further from the Truth.
