Scientists merge massive databases to map early warning signs of depression
Summary
The Wellcome Trust is funding the FUTURE-D research consortium with €5.9 million to improve early prediction of severe and chronic depression. The project combines large longitudinal cohorts, advanced data analysis, and clinical expertise across six countries. Researchers want to identify early warning signals and use them to guide more personalized treatment decisions. The work also includes transcranial magnetic stimulation as a potential way to tailor treatment to individual patients. The project starts in autumn 2026 and runs for five years.
