Zachariah Mallory Day

He became first US state mental hospital patient at the
Public Hospital for Persons of Insane and Disordered Minds
(Williamsburg, Virginia)
on 10/12/1773

Of course, probably due to confidentiality rules, we don't know the actual cause.

But we do know that:

                  Cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women
                  They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane;
                  Cigarettes, whiskey and wild wild women
                  They'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane;
  
          Once I was happy and had a good wife
          I had enough money to last me for life
          Then I met with a gal and we went on a spree
          She taught me smokin' and drinkin' whiskey.
