There is a direct link due to chemicals in the food and its been proven. But that's not to be confused with all mental illnesses are down to eating junk food nor eating junk food can/will send you mental.
You're not a slim guy, so I'm guessing you eat a lot of shit (high in fat and sugars) and don't do much exercise, would someone call you mental?...who knows
but eating a lot of shit food and not doing much exercise is a mental order or disorder, especially when we know eating healthier and doing exercise is better for our health.
I don't give my kids much junk food (once or twice a month at most) they eat a lot of fresh meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits. They only eat a small number of sweets on a Sunday and that's it and they seem to behave normally. However, I know several kids at the school who are allowed to eat junk food and sweets all the time and they're practically bouncing off the walls.
This is also down to parenting too though. I find that it's more often than not the kids whose parents don't care what crap their kids eat have the biggest problems with their kids.
