Yes. A child who believes his father is mentally ill will be affected. The question is in what way and how much. The "fact" that his father is mentally ill will "weigh" on the child. If the child cares about his father, it will bother him that his dad is ill, that he cannot help his dad, and it may even occur to the child that he (the child) is in some way responsible. The best "defense" is to talk about the situation a bit. Open it up. The age of the child will predicate the type of approach, as will the nature and severity of the mental illness of his father. (It is imperative that you be clear on what is going on with the father. Crystal clear.) It would be a good idea to get one of the counselling types on board for this one so you can proceed correctly and in an age-appropriate manner. Professional consultation costs money, but an initial consult is usually free or inexpensive. Do a couple of initial consults and see what things look like. Best of luck sorting this one out.
