Moldy Depression

A new Brown University study published in the American Journal of Public Health has found a statistical link between depression and living in a damp, moldy home. The study was not designed to test whether mold is a physiological cause of depression, only to show whether people who live in mold-infested houses are more likely to be depressed. More details here. Though I know this is only anecdotal evidence, I can't help but remember how sad I used to be when I lived in a leaky, mold-encrusted apartment. Well, there was one time I was so happy that I was bouncing off the walls, but I quickly fell through them. Maybe there's something to this after all...
