"The Cotard delusion or Cotard's syndrome, also known as nihilistic or negation delusion, is a rare neuropsychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusional belief that he or she is dead, does not exist, is putrefying or has lost his/her blood or internal organs. Rarely, it can include delusions of immortality."Health Question & Answer

I don't know about mental illness. I guess it's a possibility. But could it also be a possibility they are experiencing some sort of past life regression, or they are psychic in some way.?

If the child's behavior otherwise is quite normal, and they are not posing a danger to themselves or anyone else, talk to your doctor or other health professional but don't worry about it too much. They may grow out of it or maybe they have some abilities you don't full understand.
