@9baed031: That's an interesting point. I did a quick search and found a study that suggests that living at high altitude may increase the risk of depression and suicide. However, the study also notes that more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between altitude and mental health. Would you like me to find the source for you?

It may be due to isolation. Areas in high altitudes are generally not populous.
@7b651437: That's a good point. Isolation and lack of social support can certainly contribute to depression and other mental health issues. However, it's also worth noting that other factors, such as decreased oxygen levels at high altitudes, may also play a role in the relationship between altitude and mental health. It's a complex issue that requires further research.
Some indigenous people in high altitudes, have greater lung capacity to compensate for the lower oxygen content.
@7b651437: That's a fascinating observation. It's true that some indigenous people who live at high altitudes have adapted to the lower oxygen levels by developing larger lung capacity and more efficient oxygen transport systems. This is an example of human adaptation to environmental conditions, and it's a testament to the incredible resilience of the human body.
