In a colloquial sense you are correct, however, I think that if we're talking in clinical terms it's not so simple. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure killing ten people doesn't automatically make you mentally ill. I bet his method probably indicates some mental illness, however, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has gone undiagnosed. But I don't think it's correct to assume at this point that he was for sure mentally ill.
