Is Mold connected to Anxiety Disorders?
For some reason I remember hearing that the presence of black mold in a home or in a building can cause brain damage. Now I realized that there has been a correlation to my anxiety and places where I have been where there was black mold.
In some area's of my apartment building, there is mold growth inside the walls from water leaks (the management refuses to fix this though, as he insists there are no health risks to it) and this is where my panic attacks started.
An apartment building where my sister lived had *severe* black mold and this is where my panic attacks went into overdrive and often sent me to the emergency room.
A good friend of mine started having panic attacks and had to move out of his apartment because of black mold growth. He's fine now.
Has anyone else heard of this?
