Pollution & mental illness

I like a lot of the points raised in Mental Illness Is Not in Your Head — Decades of biological research haven’t improved diagnosis or treatment. We should look to society, not to the brain., but not enough to recommend reading it. It's a review of two books, Mind Fixers: Psychiatry’s Troubled Search for the Biology of Mental Illness and Desperate Remedies: Psychiatry’s Turbulent Quest to Cure Mental Illness, and I'm torn between "oh, that looks interesting", and being even more depressed about the current state of psychiatry and psychology.
But the MeFi thread has a comment from Mr Visible with a whole bunch of resources on the links between pollution and mental illness, and that I had to save for future reference.
