Mold may affect mood

Feeling depressed? Your bad mood may have something to do with mold growing in your home.

In the largest study of its kind, Brown University researchers found that people with who had mold in their homes were on average 40 percent more likely to report being depressed than people who did not have mold.

While the study doesn’t prove that mold causes depression, it illustrates that a healthy home can influence both physical and mental health.
