What do you guys think about someone dating with depression, anxiety or some other mental illness?

As someone (21) who suffers with anxiety and depression, I wonder how that could potentially affect my dating life.

I googled the topic a couple times and read articles saying that it can work out, but you need to be careful.

On the other hand, I read horror stories on Reddit and other sites about their experiences dating someone with a mental illness and how they would never date such a person for whatever reason.

Do you think people with depression, anxiety or other mental illness should be dating at all nor not?

Anyone have any experiences dating someone who suffers from these things or is anyone who is dating/married currently suffering from this? How is the experience?

Personally, I feel that if I ever get a girlfriend and some time into the relationship I tell her that I suffer from depression and anxiety, she might think of me differently or just straight up consider leaving me.

But what do you guys think about the matter?
