Cho wasn't considered "mentally ill" - at least by ADA standards. According to the ADA:

"An individual with a disability is a person who ... has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a 'major life activity' [which] include functions such as caring for oneself, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working."

Yes, Cho was obviously a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but the ADA has nothing to do with this.
