Core Tip This review synthesizes contemporary evidence showing that artificial intelligence is reshaping the scientific and clinical understanding of major depressive disorder (MDD) by connecting epidemiological patterns, etiological mechanisms, and neurobiological findings with advanced computational models. Unlike traditional symptom-based diagnostic systems, AI-driven approaches integrate multimodal data - including neuroimaging, EEG, speech, language, behavioral traces, and clinical records - to generate mechanistic insights, stratify patient risk, and support individualized treatment planning. The review highlights how graph-based neuroimaging models, deep learning analysis of EEG time–frequency signatures, and large language models for clinical narrative interpretation collectively form a new computational framework for precision psychiatry. It also underscores the key challenges - such as data heterogeneity, cultural bias, privacy risks, and limited real-world validation - that must be addressed to translate AI systems into trustworthy and clinically actionable tools.
