Yes. The T4 programme of 'euthanasia' began in 1939, before the building of the camps. An anti disability Propaganda campaign, that labelled the physically disabled and mentally ill, "useless eaters" and emphasised the financial burden of caring for them on society, preceded the establishment of six killing centres. Doctors decided which patients were considered burdens on society and sent them to be murdered by starvation, lethal injection or gas. The T4 centres trialled the 'gas chamber disguised as shower room' method of mass murder, which was later expanded in the camps. Camp personnel often started their careers overseeing the ‘euthanasia’ of disabled people in the T4 centres.

Most of the mentally ill people were killed in the holocaust. They simply were not kept. That was the "Final Solution."
An estimated 11 million people were killed in the Holocaust, roughly 6 million of them being Jews. Other groups the Nazis targeted for extermination were people of Romani, Polish, Russian, or Slavic origin, Jehovah's Witnesses, the mentally handicapped, the physically disabled, POWs (especially Soviet), homosexuals, political leftists, and freemasons. Note: People of colour were killed as well, but their killings were far less systematic than those of the groups listed above, so they are not classified as casualties of the Holocaust.
Anyone Hitler believed didn't have morals, like homosexuals.
