Being fearful and feeling guilty are suggestive of mental illness.

No -- it actually prevents mental illness. If you have Jesus as your Savior, you can turn to Him and ask forgiveness when you've hurt someone or done something to harm yourself or others.
He hears us when we pray, and He frees us from the guilt and the fear that can contribute to depression or other mental problems.
1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous,

No, praying constantly is probably a symptom of some kind of mental illness or nervous disorder. It's a symptom not a cause.

That sounds more like the sign of mental illness, not a cause.

No, we are instructed to pray all the time.
It is how we convey our confession (1 John 1:9), requests (1 Tim. 2:1-3), intercessions (James 5:15), thanksgiving (Phil. 4:6), etc., to our holy God. We are commanded to pray (1 Thess. 5:17).

Some would say the damage is done, and it is the symptoms of Mental illness.

No, it can cause a form of self hypnosis though. A reinforcement of beliefs.
