I was in very bad depression for one year or so. During that period I used to remain in my room and I never used to open any windows and also sealed the door from beneath due to anxiety. So there was no fresh air coming in my room and I seldom went out and opened the door. Will that have increased the radon and other harmful gases or radiation in my room and can it cause any harm in future to me? Currently, there is no symptom.

Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can potentially increase the risk of lung cancer. However, the risk is generally associated with long-term exposure and higher concentrations than what might typically occur in most homes. While your concern is valid, it's important to consider that a short period of sealed windows and doors in your room is unlikely to significantly increase radon levels to a harmful extent. If you're worried about radon levels, you might consider testing your living space. Radon test kits are available and can provide information about the concentration of radon in your environment. Ensuring proper ventilation in your living space is important for general indoor air quality. Opening windows and doors when weather and conditions permit can help improve air circulation.
