He should be intelligent enough to understand that intelligence has nothing to do with mental illness. I'm sorry you're going through this. Some people just aren't educated on mental health issues, because they have never experienced it, so they are very naïve and clueless about that subject. Which technically isn't his fault. He is just ignorant about it and coming across as offensive. If he refuses to understand what you're dealing with, then maybe it is for the best that you both go your separate ways.
