I think that really depends on what the illness is. There are a wide range of different mental illnesses from paranoid schizophrenia to anorexia. Each different illness can affect a person differently. Often they can make people very isolated and feel like they are struggling to be understood. I suffered with anorexia nervosa for a long time, and it meant that my family felt very exhausted from me fainting a lot, and from my mood swings. It's extremely stressful for someone to have to gain weight very quickly under hospital supervision and it can cause a big disruption to family life because family cares for each other and worries too.
