It turns out that there may also be a link between <a href=\"http:\/\/universityhealthnews.com\/daily\/depression\/its-not-all-in-your-head-molding-a-link-to-depression-symptoms\/\">mold and depression<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Understanding Sick Building Syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sick building syndrome is a term that refers to what happens when you breathe in mold spores in poorly ventilated areas. Architecture has come a long way in recent years, but the most up-to-date designs of today are careful to seal off any cracks or holes that could allow pests and allergens to enter the buildings. This is true both for homes and for commercial buildings. The problem is that nothing can get out either, which leads to conditions favorable to the growth of mold and bacteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have You Been Exposed to Mold?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you think you&#8217;ve been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/25\/toxic-mold-may-trigger-psychiatric-symptoms\/\">exposed to mold<\/a>, there&#8217;s no need to worry.
