A new study suggests that a vegetarian diet may, counterintuitively, be linked to depression. Though there are some limitations to the new research (namely, that it was in men only), there’s one reason that it may be right on: Vegetarians and vegans may be low on the vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that are essential to neurological function. So the study may at least be a good reminder to add back what you may be lacking, either with food or with supplement. Interesting study. Loosely corresponds to what I typically observe in vegetarian men I know. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

Or are depressed people more likely to be vegetarians?

The correlation is proven, but not the reasoning behind it. The fact that the reasoning ties veganism and vegetarianism together so strongly is enough of a red flag. Those two things might as well be completely different diets.

So didn't actually measure those nutrients they're saying might be lower.

This makes sense. Most vegetarians are bitter, sad people Because most of those people are liberal, not because they are vegetarians. I used to be depressed all the time until I switched to a mostly vegan diet, except on some occasions, and my depression hasn't come back since. ... Copied to Clipboard!

To me it's pretty obvious that adhering to a strict diet that cuts out an entire food group (two if vegan) is going to make most people a bit unhappy.

I don't think people who are into a vegetarian diet look at cutting those food groups out as a negative thing though. Especially if they aren't doing it for a specific health reason. If anything, some of them would be cutting those foods out in an effort to feel morally and ethically(depending on their reason to be vegetarian or vegan) better about their food choices Also, the article is trying to say the depression is due to a lack of nutrients, not from the difficulty in maintaining a diet --- Posted with GameRaven 3.2.2 ...

Also I wonder if they controlled for people that had to adopt vegetarian and veganism for health reasons. Nothing in the article indicates to me that they did that, and that would possibly erase most if not all the correlation.

Vegetarianism isn't the problem. Having a healthy diet in general is. I know some people who are technically vegetarians, but eat total shit all the time. Living on pizza, cheese, potatoes, etc. They are doing it wrong.
