How do you approach dating and romantic relationships with a mental illness? When do you tell a new partner that you have a mental health condition? Dating and relationships are hard for everyone.

It’s high time we acknowledge the prevalence and stigma around mental health. Today, Paige offers practical advice on dating with mental illness, and when and how to disclose that you have a mental health condition.
