What Role Does Black Mold Play While Having Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Morning, and Happyn New Year. I have PTSD due to my tour in Iraq. I'm a retail store manager for a large box stores. My office has black mold on the walls...I've been under a lot of stress the last two months. What role does black mold plays into my PTSD. My office has black mold on the walls in ventilation systems that have reported numerous times via e-mail, phone and verbal to my superiors.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I presume that you are diagnosed with PTSD by a qualified clinical psychologist. If not, please get it done and confirm.

In my experience, black mold does not play any role in the people affected by PTSD. All these are superstition. Perception differs from person to person and your perception is supposed to be different from others. If you believe in superstition, you could see this black mold as a disturbing factor. Therefore, leave superstition in their own way and learn to ignore.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
