Is M mentally ill?

M said that he didn't remember his crime, but only found out what he did through the newspaper. Billy seems to call this a lost time, so he has another personality? He has killed so many children. If he is of good nature, then he would normally know why he killed the children because of his illness and why he did not seek treatment, but continued to commit crimes again and again. Is he healed? The police searched the room based on the list. He was mentally ill, and since he was discharged from the hospital, it meant that he was cured. Moreover, he wrote letters to provoke the police before, which means that he knew what he had done, and he did not admit his mistake or regret, which showed that he was inherently bad. This is an open ending, and the ending is in the name of the people, so what is the truth? In "First Degree Fear", Nolan pretended to be a split personality to escape the crime, and only knew the truth at the last minute. Then M may also be acting, acting as a psychopath to exonerate himself. If the main character is kind, he will definitely go mad and fall into deep self-blame after learning that another character of his own has killed the child. I really want to know the truth!
