If you have mould illness, you probably already know that some of your symptoms are psychiatric. You may have symptoms like anxiety or depression. A few years ago, US Dr Mary Ackerley explained why this is so in a great article called 'Brain on Fire.' She wrote this in 2014 when mould illness was still fairly new and she said there was a study done on mould in Europe. They found that when they surveyed the people living in mouldy houses about symptoms of depression that for those living in visibly mouldy households, the rate of depression was about 34-40% higher than for those in mould-free dwellings.
