To me "mental illness" denotes a pattern of warped thinking of reality, sometimes trauma induced, sometimes patterned for them by role models in their life.

There can also be biological factors....Also not entirely sure what is meant by patterned by role models in their life I just don't see that causing mental illness. Depending on what they learn from this role model might contribute to mental illness however.
