Relationship post mental health crisis

I feel bad writing this but I am feeling conflicted.
I am casually seeing someone and I’ve definitely started to develop feelings but haven’t told him although he said that he was interested in a relationship.

I really like him but I am worried that I might be making a bad decision. He’s really smart, fun and attentive but I know that he has had some (imo) serious mental health issues and I’m scared that I might be underestimating it because I really don’t know a lot about this.

He acknowledges his problems and is working on them, and I want to be with him but I don’t think I can do this yet and I’m not sure if I’m being overly judgemental and really mean. I’ve never felt so guilty before and it’s eating me up.

What specifically are his issues? Hard to give advice without more information

I agree with the first poster. I'm in a ltr with someone who has borderline personality disorder, but there's a big difference between anxiety or depression for example and a full blown psychiatric disorder so its hard to offer input without knowing.

Sorry I should have been clearer.
He has a personality disorder which I am ok with because I understand it. The part that worries me is that he has been treated for psychosis before and I find this quite terrifying because I don’t know much about it.
