Could you love someone with severe depression or mental trauma? Let's say a girl/guy with a serious case of bipolar disorder, clinical depression, or schizophrenia? (Keep in mind, I'm only talking about ones who are not a threat to other people) Or even if they don't have an illness, let's say they have PTSD or were victims of sexual abuse that they hadn't coped with?
It's a pretty simple question so there's no need for my traditional walls of text.
Also, if you are in love with someone who is extremely depressed, self hating, or emotionally traumatized, then how do you know it's love? Is there a possibility that you simply pity them, and are satisfying your "knight in shining armor" complex? Is it possible to confuse your egotism towards being a "hero", with genuine love and compassion?
