Thousands of Studies Link Mercury in Dental Amalgam to Other Diseases
Research from more than 1,000 peer-reviewed or government studies documents the mechanism by which mercury causes or is a major factor in over 40 chronic health conditions, such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), Parkinson's/muscle tremor, Alzheimer's, muscular and joint pain/fibromyalgia, Chron's disease, lupus, scleroderma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), endometriosis, and diabetes.
...
Other neurological and mood disorders linked to mercury in amalgam include: memory disorders, depression,
schizophrenia, insomnia, anger, anxiety and mental confusion, neuropathy/paresthesia, tinnitus, and dizziness/vertigo.

I don't know if mercury fillings can cause neurological damage that, in turn, might be a contributing factor in the development of psychosis or schizophrenia. However, given that the scientific community is willing to seriously consider cat poop as a cause I see no reason why anyone would hesitate to toss "mercury fillings" into the ring along with everything else that's already there.
As a result, I'd have a difficult time saying that your husband is delusional. But it does seem to be that you're not feeling supported by him. Perhaps what you need are some ideas that might help the two of you get on the same page. Maybe the parents board of schizophrenia.com really could help you with that, Julia. Then again, maybe it depends on what you identify as the problem. Is it that he has his ideas fixed and he's not willing to alter them or is it that he doesn't have any ideas and he's not willing to educate himself so as to find some?
