A vegan diet is not for everyone. It can be difficult to do properly, especially without proper education and practice. The main thing is to eat whole foods (not processed) and to eat a diet high in omega-3s and tryptophan. Those are nutrients that are very important for brain health. There are others (folic acid, etc) but omega-3s and tryptophan are the top ones.

The nuts and seeds that you are eating are GREAT.
