Story summary

Three gene loci linked to treatment response in major depressive disorder (MDD) differentiate treatment-resistant depression (TRD) from non-TRD.
Machine learning (ML) models predict treatment outcomes and identify subtypes.
A postpartum depression (PPD) risk model using ten ML algorithms achieved 0.91 AUC.
A risk calculator estimated 17% of adolescents hospitalized for psychiatric issues develop bipolar spectrum disorder (BSD) within five years.
