I highly doubt it. Sickle cell only affects blood cells and their ability to hold oxygen.
The only way for it to affect the mind would be for it to significantly reduce the amount of oxygen that was going to the brain, thus causing delirium.
But if that were the case, after a month or so, a baby would die anyways, and would never live to reach Adulthood.
So no, Sickle cell will not mess with the mind, and any case where it does so would be lethal in childhood.
