fwiw “confused” isn’t an appropriate word for mentally ill in english.

I had some doubts about using that word but people don't necessarily need to be "ill"; Your average Joe is able to "snap" (let alone be confused about life or have a momentary mental breakdown) too. Being mentally ill on the other hand is stating its there for a longer period. (e.g days/months/lifetime).
