Question

Is there any excuse for committing zina? I'm suffering from different kind of mental diseases and I feel like zina would help me overcoming them.

Answer

No. It will make it worse. A haraam cannot be a cure. Rather the haraam itself is a disease.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
