A study conducted by the Brown University School of Medicine and published in the October 2007 issue of the American Journal of Public Health found that there is a link between exposure to household mold and the development of depressive disorders. Researchers investigated the link between mold and depressive disorders throughout Europe and determined that those living in homes with significant amounts of mold were more likely to be diagnosed as clinically depressed. Researchers caution that this doesn’t definitively prove that toxic mold causes depression or any other mental health disorder, but they have established a link.
Closer to home, researchers at the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis found that people with environmental allergies, including allergies to mold, reported an increase in depressive symptoms like feelings of sadness and fatigue when their allergies flared up. Researchers say that this doesn’t necessarily mean that mold or other allergens cause those symptoms but that they can make them worse in people that already suffer from depressive disorders or other psychological problems.
I left my job due to exposure and declining health related to it. I transferred to a different job with the same employer. And yes it was depressing to be so ill and have no relief despite seeing an allergist. Due to the exposure I now have an allergy to molds.
I read that mold is more commonly linked to physical problems, such as difficulty breathing, fatigue, and headaches, but research shows that it can present itself in a psychiatric way, too. This includes brain fog, depression, anxiety, problems concentrating, and insomnia.
If you experience such symptoms, it's essential to consult with healthcare professionals who may recommend treatments or medications approved by FDA and the Canadian Pharmacy It is important to take care of your home as it can impact your health and well-being.

It can cause health concerns
Mold causes numerous health problems which may lead to depression. I'm not an expert, but I don't believe mold directly causes depression.
