It's rather a sign of a spiritual illness. Perverts can be completely functional mentally, but their spirit gets sick with certain type of passion that make them slaves to it.
Remember what Christ said: "Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." (John 8:34)
In reality every human being (except Jesus Christ) is a pervert to a certain extent. If I think of myself as not a pervert I simply lie to myself. But, certain perversions are more dangerous not just for an individual, but for the society. So, society labels them as such.
Mental illness is something rather different than a perversion though.

As stated in a prior answer the word"perversion" is a generally used term and is dependent upon a particular persons social mores and beliefs. What one person may define as perversion another may not. What are you basing "normal" behavior on? The law? religious beliefs? personal experience? Your definition may be much wider or more narrow than anothers. It would be better to state particular behaviors ans ask if they are a sign of mental illness.

WEll if someone's into shackles, handcuffs and wants to meet up w/everyone and make their privates public, then why sure, I'd definately describe this as perversion and mentally ill under atleast a couple of catagories.

That would entirely depend on one's definition of perversion. Some people think homosexuality is perversion. Are homosexuals perverted? Not at all.
While you are probably referring to things like child molestation and serial killers, you must be careful with using blanket terms.

It certainly indicates some sort of distorted character and off course it can lead to any kind of mental illness I suppose...In fact it is the constant check upon ourselves that keep us going on "strait", won't you agree ?
