Reviews"This book fills a needed gap....James Brown has assembled an impressive amount of information on known environmental and chemical toxins and presents it in a user-friendly format. For those wanting information on the physical and psychiatric side effects of heavy metals such as mercury or lead, pesticides, solvents, and other agents, this book has it all."- Donald W. Black, M.D., American Journal of Psychiatry, , March 2003, "This book presents a timely, well-written, and readable overview of demonstrated and purported effects of chemical exposures on mental health. It is very well researched, with extensive endnotes on all subjects covered. Dr. Brown's work will make a valuable addition to any professional's library. And it provides an excellent entry point into the literature on most recognized chemical sources of psychiatric illness.."- R. Leonard Vance, Ph.D., PE, CIH, Associate Professor, Department of Preventive Medicine & Community Health, Medical College of Virginia/VCU, Richmond, Virginia, This book fills a needed gap....James Brown has assembled an impressive amount of information on known environmental and chemical toxins and presents it in a user-friendly format. For those wanting information on the physical and psychiatric side effects of heavy metals such as mercury or lead, pesticides, solvents, and other agents, this book has it all., "James S. Brown Jr. M.D., has completed a timely form of community service for psychiatric caregivers in his thorough overview of potential psychiatric symptoms in Environmental and Chemical Toxins in Psychiatric Illness."- Martin K. Williams, M.D., Psychiatric Services , march 2003, " Environmental and Chemical Toxins and Psychiatric Illness by James S. Brown Jr. M.D., is an excellent compendium of useful facts about toxins and their implications for psychiatric treatment. As we face the threat of terrorist attacks, this seminal book summarizes information that would be critical for psychiatrists who respond to a chemical or radiological attack. Dr. Brown presents a compelling case for psychiatrists to familiarize themselves with environmental and chemical toxins. His volume is well written and engaging, including historical background, and, sadly, all too timely."- Ann E. Norwood, M.D., COL, MC, USA, Associate Professor and Associate Chair of Psychiatry, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland, James S. Brown Jr. M.D., has completed a timely form of community service for psychiatric caregivers in his thorough overview of potential psychiatric symptoms in Environmental and Chemical Toxins in Psychiatric Illness., "This is an extremely useful book to have in clinical work. It is well written and to the point and covers an area often ignored in training. I do not know of any other book that encompasses the materials as neatly as his. It is a handy reference that stays on my office shelf."- Philip Khoury, M.D., Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal, , July 2002
