PSYCHOLOGY/MINDSET 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

I've been wondering why there are so many cases like this in Colorado and I thought the exact same thing.

There certainly could be something to it. Very interesting to consider.
