The most likely cause of any mental problems you have are from anxiety about the material, not the material itself. I have a similar trigger with another heavy metal, cadmium - although that's easing nowadays.
I appreciate it will cost you being in the US, but a simple blood test will reveal if you have this metal in your system.
