I wish I could help Jinx. I could suggest some supplements but I know it's hard when money is tight. At this point I would say, listen to other senior members of this forum who know more about mercury poisoning, chelating, and the things that help the most with those. I am still learning.

Re: mental illness. There is no such thing. There are collections of symptoms, which people have given labels to and called diseases. You could be presenting symptoms of psychosis, schizophrenia, mania, depression, OCD, anxiety, etc etc. These are real. The fault lies in calling them diseases and then saying "here's the drug you use to treat it."

Jinx may be experiencing anxiety, and with good reason. It could be psychological, physiological, a mix of both. Let's not debate about whether this is a legitimate "illness" because that is just nonsense. Let's focus on hekping Jinx to overcome the symptoms and get well.
