I've seen the deleted scene but I don't know how relevant it is for the show. After all, the deleted scene with Gwen knowing about Arthur's plan to use magic wasn't relevant at all. On the other hand, the deleted scene with the Dragons almost destroying the Five Kingdoms WOULD make sense... Hmmm....

The scene was about Uther's father only. Could be that he had a mental illness but I think they deleted it to not make the viewers think that all Pendragons suffer from mental disturbances and that Arthur will go insane one day, too. Morgana suffers from a mental illness, there is no doubt. Uther had to deal with emotional/psychological problems concerning the shock over Igraine's death and later Morgana's betrayal. Those were external reasons, not internal ones, meaning, he reacted to what happened but it didn't seem to be a mental illness that was inherited in some way. Morgana on the other hand shows more than one sign of a serious mental illness.

Anyway, it would have been better to describe all characters in a more sensible and moderate way instead of creating unreal characters like Morgana and shallow characters like Arthur who doesn't know what's going on around him.
