totally agree
It's more than "not a good idea" to exploit someone but I disagree this glamourizes mental illness. Also it's realistic in the sense rather than people caring for the mentally ill, or just treating us like normal human beings while going on with their daily lives, they are behaving like this to us. Some are like "MONSTERS!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE" and some are like "No one will even believe this madman if he sues me" and exploit us, and yes no one even believes us when we sue them. I was hospitalized for mental illness too and it's not uncommon for people like us being abandoned in those facilities too. I'm actually surprised that the author, more or less, knows what's up and portrays a realistic mentally ill plot. The common "I'm mentally ill, I have those thoughts in scary fonts, black colour and bold letters but almost everyone around me are supportive. Things got better after I opened up, took meds/therapy." representation of it goes only so far. Not one mentally ill is the same as another mentally ill. It's not logical to expect each mental illness portrayal to be consistent with your view of it.
Yes, we can see it that way but the author uses mental illness for dramatic romanticization.
I am also mentally ill, also have my fair share of experiences in psychiatric hospitals and I don't like how the plot and the characters handle the very vulnerable rehabilitant/ML candidate.
This isn't about him at all but the stereotypical MC/Uke who is sad and still clinging on an unhealthy friendship.

It is not a good idea to glamorize mental illness and use it for sexual exploitation.
