Within the US there is a surprisingly strong correlation between suicide and elevation. A quick Google search will bring up many papers and articles. I’m not sure what the mechanism is or whether it extends beyond just the US, but it is curious.

How fascinating. Have you run across the book "Brain Energy"? It suggests that all brain disorders are metabolic in nature, which would imply a pathway for oxygen availability to cause brain malfunction.
