Depression is one of the most prevalent psychiatric diseases and significantly negatively impacts patients’ productivity, quality of life, and cognitive functions.[1] According to a recent survey by the World Health Organization, it has been estimated that depression currently ranks the third in terms of disability-adjusted life years and will be the leading cause of disease and injury burden by 2030, surpassing cancer as well as cardiovascular and respiratory disease.[2] This troubling situation, which has raised concern among the international field of psychiatry, challenges researchers worldwide to investigate the prevention and control of depression and identify the necessary funding to support this research. Given the expansive and interdisciplinary nature of biomedicine, no single researcher or institution can stay current on all developments within depression research. Thus, scientific collaboration becomes indispensable to make progress in biomedicine as it strengthens communication, encourages competency sharing, and facilitates the discovery of new scientific knowledge. Despite this fact, there have been few scientific publications to date regarding collaborative research within the field studying depression. Therefore, this article aimed to measure scientific collaborations at three levels – authors, institutions, and countries. By examining scientific collaboration, this article also identified hot topics in depression research, which represent the areas of focus that numerous researchers have decided to have substantial potential to prevent and cure this pervasive disease.
