Does Living In High Altitude Cause Mood Swings?
Can you direct me to some articles about the possible effects of high altitude on moods. I live at 5000 ft. for the past two years and have been noticing very dramatic changes in my ability to focus.....some days OK.....others dramatically different.....barometric pressure and altitude?????......not sure if altitude could have anything to do with it. Thanks

so do not worry. do some exercises. you will be fine in some days.
as exercise will increase your lung capacity and good oxygen levels in blood. as low oxygen makes low mood and easily irritable.
so do not worry.
