A mental disorder or mental illness is a psychological or behavioral pattern that occurs in an individual and is thought to cause distress or disability that is not expected as part of normal development or culture (from wikipedia)

Someone who abuses someone is doing something culturally unacceptable to another person, or it wouldn't be classified as abuse. So they would have some mental disorder, at least until the normal development of culture changes.

Based on the standards of 150 years ago, everyone suffers from mental disorder.
