The third article clearly states that only 30,000 cases of Lyme Disease are reported each year to the CDC. HOWEVER, the CDC researchers then estimated that there were actually 329,000 cases. That falls in line with the figures you quote here. Therefore, if you do the math from the numbers listed below, at most, Lyme disease would account for only 0.75% of cases of mental illness - and that assumes that every single case of Lyme results in psychiatric symptoms. Check my math. I may have made an error.

Lyme disease accounts for less than 1% of cases of mental illness.
As a follow-up, you previously suggested that:
"In my opinion, all psychiatric patients should do a 3 month trial of Cordyceps mushroom - the dose is 6000mg and up."
Question: How does Cordyceps cure Lyme Disease?
