Mental Health Fact Sheet
In November 2008, LDDI updated and expanded its fact sheet on environmental exposures and mental health. With an emphasis on prevention, this fact sheet provides information on psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses related to each of the environmental agents discussed, as well as sources of exposure and actions that can be taken to reduce exposures. |
