It sounds like the variable names aren't what you think they are.
Try this:

mental <- read.csv("dataextract.csv")
colnames(mental)

If the names don't match exactly, R won't know what you mean.

Since this step works,

mental$Rx <- factor(mental$Rx, levels=c("VS","IPS"))

I think that some of the names are right, but perhaps that
one is spelled differently (Centre vs centre, maybe, since
R is case-sensitive?).

The easiest thing to do with no R knowledge is probably
to change the name in the csv file to match your code,
if that turns out to be the problem.
