Mental Health and Romantic Relationships

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and romance is on the minds of many. A question that may come up if you are living with a mental health condition is “How do I deal with my condition in romantic relationships?”

Some of these topics can be difficult: 

  • Should I tell my partner? If so, when?
  • How do I tell my partner about my mental health condition? 
  • Can I start a relationship? 
  • Side effects of the medicine

The National Alliance on Mental Health or NAMI has a great article on how to approach this topic with your partner. You can also talk to your mental health provider for insights as well.
