Although there is no "check for mental issues", they do ask about it.

It's a little box you mark "yes" or "no" in on the form 4473.

Section F:

"Have you ever been adjudicated mentally defective or have you been committed to a mental institution?"

The other issue is that just because somebody has not been "adjudicated mentally defective" or committed, that does not mean they shouldn't have been.
