The findings of this scoping review indicate that the omics methods had similar performance in identifying omics variants associated with depression. All machine learning methods performed well based on their performance metrics. When variants in omics data are associated with an increased risk of depression, the important next step is for clinicians, especially nurses, to assess individuals for symptoms of depression and provide a diagnosis and any necessary treatment.
