Would PTSD put you off a new relationship?

Just curious to see if somebody who opened up about having post traumatic stress disorder would put you off getting to know them or even put the brakes on a relationship going forward. Or should that person not open up perhaps?
Thanks.

if i didn't have ptsd and gad myself i wouldn't be turned off no. it's not the telling that may turn a potential partner off; it's the symptoms that might affect the relationship. this is a large part why i don't date tbh. still working on myself.
having experienced it too i think being open about it is best. well, for me, it would be impossible to hide physically and if i tried to hide it behind another label i know i would feel resentful towards my partner, like i couldn't be honest about who i was (even tho it was my own fault for lying). OP i hope you're doing okay. tell your partner if you want the short answer

Depends.
First date and no emotional attachment to this person prior? Possibly.
If I already have a connection with this person (ie friends first or after a couple dates) then it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

Someone I know has PTSD and they opened up to their partner of 8 years and they’re still together. I think you should just be honest (or the person in question) with whoever it is. The symptoms are sometimes difficult for your partner to deal with, but I think they’d prefer if you were just honest.

Disclosure is a difficult topic though for either relationships, families or workplaces.
If someone discusses mental health issues all the time or has a condition themselves, then I think they would say well no, wider society, not sure. Disclosure of PTSD is something I feel is starting to change very rapidly in society.
