A short excerpt from a June 12, 2024 YouTube video in which Aaron Hartman, MD interviews a speaker about retrospective insights related to possible mold exposure and associated anxiety. The snippet shows an interviewer prompting the speaker to recount things they later recognized in hindsight, contrasting initial assumptions ("normal stuff") with later understanding.

Could you, like, walk us through some of the other things that you've learned in hindsight, that were going on with the Sirs that back then you thought.
Were probably just.
Normal stuff?
I had a lot of anxiety, and I think that I had the IBS from, you know, time as a teenager. And then I started developing anxiety when I was in college. And now looking back, I wonder. I know part of it was situational, but was it living in a dorm as well? Was I exposed to something in the dorm that really hit, like, kicked off that anxiety? And then I was fine for years. And then I got married and moved into my husband's really old house in the museum district, and I developed anxiety again. Now, was that situational, or was that another mold hit? So that's something that I've thought about now that I know all this kind of stuff.
