It' s largely a matter of perspective on the part of the observer filtered by their biases...
Like pretty much everything..
Near the end he was probably suffering from some paranoia, perhaps, due to his heavy drinking. As for a mental illness, I definitively do not think that he was in that category, not at all, and, I do not believe that anyone who was close to him claimed that, either. After his defeat in the 1960 election, Nixon left public life, starting a law practice in New York City. If he was suffering from clinical paranoia, he could have never made it as a lawyer.
