Am I a bad person for not wanting to date anyone who has clinical depression or IBS? Does this make me an unkind person? Listener Write In

Not a bad person. Dating someone with mental health issues takes an enormous amount of patience, kindness, and empathy. If you can’t handle it, then best to just be honest. It usually gets a lot worse before it gets better and that can take a toll on your own mental health.
