Mould Exposure and Mental Health: What You Need to Know

This podcast delves into the often-overlooked mental health consequences of living in damp or mould-affected homes. Drawing from cutting-edge research, including findings from a state-of-the-science review conducted in Germany, we explore how exposure to mould can lead to stress, depression, and emotional dysregulation. Learn about the pathways through which poor housing conditions impact not only physical but also mental health, and discover what steps can be taken to mitigate these effects in your home.REFERENCE:Gatto MR, Mansour A, Li A, Bentley R.
