I personally think it's fine to have a character with mental illness, but I undersand where you're getting at.

The thing with cliches is that they're fine to use, but you need to know that you're using them, and that you're using them over and over again. Having a serial killer as an antagonist is a cliche, but it's how you write it that really counts.
