It depends on the person. My boyfriend grew up with his sister who suffered mental issues and so he understands mine. there's some instances where he doesn't though, and that's something I have to get over.
My father on the other hand, I haven't talked to him about it but he'd dismiss it as stupidity. He's a guy who doesn't cry or have sympathy for anyone and when I have displayed signs of stress or anxiety, he told me to stop being stupid.

There's no way someone can completely understand, we ourselves don't understand it. They just have to go with it and learn from it.
