Depends on the extent of the what's behind it.
Containment, negative air, removal of drywall and any insulation, HEPA vac whole area, possible sanding of boards behind it, sealing of boards, wet clean/wipe down walls, floors, horizontal surfaces inside containment. HEPA vac again. Replace drywall and insulation then install an exhaust fan to help prevent to problem in the future.
Or you could do something peroxide based and spray some BIN or Kilz. But if the back of the drywall is affected, you're liable in the future.

I see very very little mold and showers around here dude or ultra dry climate as actually quite surprised to see it in this house I would bet that it'll wipe right off a little bleach or peroxide that the prior owner was not opening the vent or running the window

Your call, dude.
I was really just hoping for a video of you quasimodoing up in an attic.

It is rare. Only in flooded house. Even a very old home where ventilation is really bad, you'll see mold every where even on the driest day.

No modly promises.
But I would Kilz and paint the ceiling for a price.

90 percent of shower ceilings are like that here were I live. It rains 100 + inches a year so it's very common. Dehumidifier, PPE, wipe with bleach or whatever you want. Re seal with kilz and paint.

an exhaust fan they run for 20 minutes after a shower
the mold I see in the pic is minimal surface
wash it off, seal it with sealing primer
Paint it with Zinsser

I lived in a mouldy house for bout 6 months if I walk in 1 now I start coughing almost straight away. Think my lungs are sensitised to it now.
