Every experience is so extremely different that unless you want to be a little more specific, I'm not really sure where anyone could begin. Mental illness is such a vast area, and every case is different.

If your person is able to manage their disease, then maybe it's not such a big deal. If not, run, far and fast. Of course, as to whether they are managing their disease or not, that can change. Be aware of that.

On one hand, I think people with mental illness deserve a chance at a relationship. On the other, I don't think I'd be the person to give such a person that chance.
