Research hotspots and trends in the relationship between genetics and major depressive disorder: A scientometric analysis from 2003 to 2023.

ABSTRACT: To determine current research objectives and predict future trends in studies on the relationship between genetics and major depressive disorder (MDD). We collected the publications in the last 20 years (2003-2023) related to genetics and MDD in the Web of Science database, and applied Citespace to assess the knowledge mapping. The number of manuscripts about genetics and MDD totaled 9200, with a faster increase after 2013. The country, institution, and author with the most publications are the USA, the University of London, and Serretti, Alessandro. BIOL PSYCHIAT published the most articles in this field. In addition, the most co-cited reference is Sullivan PF (2000) (673). Genetic and MDD research, including the hippocampus, and HPA axis may become the focus of research in the future. Ba
