People who eat meat experience lower levels of depression and anxiety compared to vegans
Researchers found a significant association between meat consumption/abstention and the incidence of depression and anxiety, with individuals who consumed meat having lower average depression and anxiety levels than meat abstainers. Crucially, they found that the difference in depression and anxiety levels was greater in high-quality studies compared to low-quality studies.

This is really misleading, suggesting that eating meat will make you less anxious. These waste of time “meta analysis” can’t demonstrate causality and typically don’t account for selection bias. The common sense conclusion is likely that more anxious/neurotic people choose a vegan diet because they obsess about all the health articles they read, and assume that going vegan will improve their health, yet it does nothing to reduce their anxiety/neurosis.
