Human illness brought about due to exposure to indoor mold and its potentially toxic byproducts is a controversial, contested, and to most, an unknown, phenomena. Yet, evidence exists of the adverse physiological, psychological, and social health impacts of mold toxicity. The present study explored the subjective, lived experience for adult individuals impacted by indoor mold exposure and the chronic illness that may ensue as a result, termed mycotoxin and mold-related illness. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 10 participants to identify salient impacts across their biopsychosocial functioning and to gain insight into their experiences, including within the healthcare system. Participants expressed many adverse impacts to their biopsychosocial functioning. Physically, this included the experience of numerous complex physical symptoms, reduced capacity for physical functioning, and perceived cognitive decline. Psychologically, participants experienced substantial emotional distress related to home remediation, financial hardship, and grief and loss, declining mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety, mood lability), and numerous symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress. Socially, participants lacked social support and encountered social isolation and loneliness, including strained relationships with family. Participants also had uniquely negative experiences with Western healthcare providers, including perceived gaslighting and an obligation to self-advocate when seeking appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Participants identified several positive outcomes because of the illness experience, including gratitude and personal growth. Results from this study can inform medical and mental healthcare providers, as well as generate awareness within the general public, to address the significant unmet needs of this population and improve their overall biopsychosocial health.
