"Mentally ill" is a non-specific term. Some children are born with developmental problems that affect their emotional and mental health. These are often due to genetically-transmitted conditions. Some problems can be caused by trauma in the womb, such as a mother's drug or alcohol use, malnutrition, illness, physical trauma and so forth.
