I think such a study would be very hard to control for, as I would consider a lot of psychiatric illnesses or other Axis I/II diagnoses to be largely independent of religion. You can have narcissistic people who identify themselves as Jewish, or OCD people who identify themselves as Buddhist, or depressed people who are Christians, or anxious people who are atheist. I guess a better question might be what dimension of behavioural health you were looking at, or whether you were asking more a question of life satisfaction rather than psychiatric diagnosis.
