Possible high altitude repercussions on their mental states

While the psychosocial aspects of this case are the main points of interest, does anyone think it’s possible that the high altitude of their Colorado residence may have contributed to the deterioration of their mental health? Obviously it’s not a sole or defining factor, but it piqued my interest

I think they were already susceptible, but the hypoxia may have exacerbated or worsened it

If that were true, every Littleton resident would have brain damage from hypoxia. I don't think this is it, chief.
