Plant based diets do not necessarily rely on carbohydrates, e.g.: a keto-vegan diet can be done on fats from nuts/seeds or oils (olive/coconut), legumes, green vegetables and little or no consumption of high-carb fruits.

I wonder if veganism was paid for by the cereal industry to make people rely on carbohydrates, obviously vegetarianism has a long tradition in religion but I feel like veganism would have been very hard to maintain while food was scarce and people needed a filling meal

I asked this in the YT comments, but I guess there are too many comments. In the previous video on depression you mentioned or linked to Rhonda Patrick's video about inflammation, and there she explain that chronic silent inflammation will actually reduce serotonin by metabolizing it into something else, and also increase serotonin uptake. Isn't that the missing link why ADs might work? I also hear that ADs are given for anxiety disorders, and while they're not very effective there, supplementing 5HTP or l-tryptophane does indeed help some people.
