Regarding the association between veganism and depression, correlation is not causation. There are probably dozens of reasonable hypotheses for how differing psychological profiles could lead to differences in dietary choices.
A casual DuckDuckGo search also turns up this interesting piece on meat-reducers having higher depression than either meat-eaters or vegetarians and vegans, which the author hypothesize might be linked to the cognitive dissonance of opposing the meat industry but continuing to eat meat: #^https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0950329322001549
It's also worth noting that the Telegraph has a history of a pro-meat stance.

@dynamic I don't feel like that's enough to explain it, but it might be on the right track.
More broadly, you might have a subpopulation that cares deeply about doing things according to moral constraints, but isn't able to achieve that in their life to their own satisfaction.
If there are people with a pattern of that in their lives, that might be strong enough to tip towards depression.
