It isn't wrong, it's only symbolic. This means that you probably aren't being possessed by demons but instead that you can't control your mind because of your mind illness. Many things in The Bible are symbolic but don't push your luck.

Are animals abused because their owner is usually mental?

Not necessarily mental. But it probably does show that that person has not matured properly. It may also be a sign of insecurity or control issues caused by abuse while growing up.

If a person has a mental illness or is possessed by demons but believes in God will they still go to heaven when they die?

The early Christians believed that evil spirits or demons often entered humans. In fact they believed that mental illness and even sicknesses were caused by possession by evil spirits. However, we now know conclusively that mental illnesses and unusual behaviour are not caused by spirits. In spite of this, belief in possession by evil spirits has not entirely died out, and a few people sometimes still take part in "exorcisms" to drive out evil spirits. What is important is that mental illness is not the 'fault' of the sufferer, and it is not something caused by demons. It is simply an illness that can be treated, with proper medical help. It seems unlikely that the Christian God would punish a person for having an illness, through no fault of his or her own.

What is Hippocrates explanation of mental illness?

Hippocrates viewed mental illness to be caused by the humors. Mania was understood to be caused by an excess of hot yellow bile, melancholy (or depression) was understood to be caused by an excess of sticky thick black bile, and schizophrenia was understood to be caused by an excess of cold mucous.
