That's highly unlikely.

Although, there has been more research on the way Serotonin cycles through a person's body.

The receptors needed to process Serotonin is a Protein called P11. People with more Protein P11 can gather more Serotonin, and are less depressed.

A vegetarian diet, when balanced, can be very beneficial for the human body. It's very important to include a wide range of vegetables, beans and fruit to gain all the nutrients and micro-nutrients needed to function.

I would say, if you do feel depressed, you should probably see a doctor and have blood work done.

Although, it might be a good idea to take a break from the Vegetarian lifestyle, and try some chicken soup made from organic, free-range chicken, or make a cheese omelette with free range eggs.

You can always go back to a vegetarian lifestyle later.
