"Vitamin B 12 deficiency

.

Also - depending on a vegetarian's diet, without meat they
may not be getting enough choline bitartrate.

This stuff is 'chemical precursor' to acetyl choline which
is a very important neurotransmitter chemical in the brain.
Simply put - without enough of this chemical, the brain
doesn't work too well.

I think that I remember reading somewhere that a lack of
choline bitartrate in the diet can cause depression.

So vegetarians should eat lots of wheat germ, soybeans,
and other non-meat foods that are high in choline in order to
compensate for the deficit of it in a meatless diet.

At least, that's what I remember reading.
