It depends which mental health illnesses people are stigmatizing. I think its fair to judge people based on psychological issues, especially the more severe ones.

The truth is, people with mental health issues can be a lot to handle, and not everyone can handle it. Especially as someone who has mental health issues myself, i really can't handle dating other guys with issues. It's just too much. And i don't blame anyone for not wanting to date me because of my issues.

In the end I think everyone should be responsible for their own behavior, and yes, mental problems do affect your behavior, and just because you have mental illness doesn't mean you aren't accountable for your own behavior.

Many people with mental illness use it as an excuse, and think people should have a different standard for their behavior./ People who use their illness as an excuse annoy me.

I understand that I have appalling behavior sometimes because of my issues, but i never expect anyone to automatically forgive me for my behavior just because i have mental illness.
