Yes, mold exposure can be a contributing factor to mental illness. The toxins produced by certain molds, such as mycotoxins, can affect the brain and nervous system. This can lead to a variety of psychiatric and cognitive symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and memory problems. These mental health issues can arise from the body’s inflammatory response to mold toxins, which can disrupt normal brain function.
Our approach to treating these symptoms involves detoxifying the body, supporting brain health, and addressing the root cause of the exposure.
