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.
