There could be a variety of reasons for this behaviour. She could have problems at home and control issues for instance. Maybe they are use to getting their own way all the time and this is how they deal with it.

Being a "bully" certainly needs some attention and needs to be addressed but does not necessarily mean they have a mental illness. There may be many underlying issues that this child is also confused about, not sure how to handle them and is acting out in the ways you have mentioned as a defense mechanism but won't talk to anyone because there maybe no one available or they just don't want to bringing out the same attitude.
