People have such terrible diets in the US. Deficiency in certain vitamins and other essential nutrients is scientifically proven by medical science to lead to mental health-type symptoms.

Some people need help to learn what foods to eat properly because their parents never taught them how or they just have bad eating habits.

You don't need a nutritionist to tell you to stop eating junk/processed food. All other diet advice are pure b.s. as there's no scientific answer to what "a proper diet" is. What is "healthy" and what is not changes on a similar rate as weather broadcast i.e. see a recent turn on fat.

There is actual science behind finding nutritional deficiencies. You surely don't think vit D deficiency is "BS" or calcium deficiencies. Maybe consider your point of view is not as strongly supported as you think.

Which vitamin or mineral deficiency leads to psychosis? (With a link to this scientific proof please)

The easiest candidates for an answer is obviously Scurvy (Vitamin C) and Rickets (Vitamin D).

Both can cause mental symptoms (retardation for example). But both are rare.
