What is the key finding of this global study on depression's genetic basis, and what are its immediate implications for future research and treatment?

A global study, involving over 5 million participants from 29 countries, identified 300 previously unknown genetic risk factors for depression. This discovery is significant because previous research primarily focused on white, wealthier populations, neglecting the global diversity of the condition. The study, published in Cell, highlights the importance of inclusive research in understanding complex diseases.
