My understanding is that the mental health history is evidenced by involuntary commitment. Here in PA, two neighbors can get together and have someone committed involuntarily for up to 72 hours. If the patient is found to not be mentally ill, they are discharged. If they are mentally ill, they are adjudicated mentally ill and committed for further treatment.

You can be severely mentally ill with a history of outpatient treatment. Who is defining "mentally ill" for the purpose of precluding legal ownership of firearms? Probably Shotgun Joe Biden. This move in California is not surprising. It is a foul stench, consistent with the big brother history of the state.
