Plant-based diets may positively influence mental health.
Vegetarians, in both cross-sectional and interventional studies, appear to have fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and mood disturbance than omnivores, perhaps because of less need for medical treatment or because of the significantly lower intake of arachidonic acid, which is found in particularly high levels in chicken and eggs.
The genetic manipulation of chickens by the poultry industry may also have negative public mental health impacts. Chicken has been linked to a variety of neurological and psychiatric Toxoplasma brain parasites from meat have been linked to schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder.

One cannot possibly discuss prevalence of Toxoplasma brain parasites without looking at its role in HIV and AIDS, and cats and rodents!
Blaming it on cooked chicken meat and egg consumption is
!@#@!$$$!!!!!!!!!

"Summary: Rodents infected with a common parasite lose their fear of cats, resulting in easy meals for the felines. Now researchers have identified a new way the parasite may modify brain cells, possibly helping explain changes in the behavior of mice -- and humans.
.....Humans can become infected if they don't wash carefully after collecting cat litter containing Toxoplasma. Gardens and other areas frequented by wild and feral cats can become reservoirs for Toxoplasma, so experts recommend using gloves and masks when working in such areas.
Unwashed vegetables and undercooked meats can also lead to Toxoplasma infection..... (and much, much more to this......)

Leismaniasis, strongyloidiasis and toxoplasmosis are the three main opportunistic causes of systemic involvements reported in HIV-infected patients.
Of these, toxoplasmosis is the most important parasitic infection associated with the central nervous system. Due to its complexity in nature, toxoplasmosis is the only parasitic disease capable of not only causing focal but also disseminated forms and it has been included in AIDS-defining illnesses (ADI) ever since.....
