The study provides a comprehensive roadmap for addressing these gaps, recommending strategies to promote equity and inclusion in psychiatric genomic research that could transform mental healthcare delivery in underrepresented regions worldwide. FIN

This lack of diversity hinders scientific progress and also threatens equitable access to precision psychiatry. As mental health disorders continue to pose a significant burden, we call for urgent inclusion of understudied populations to ensure that advances benefit us all.👇

This imbalance severely limits our understanding of how genetic factors influence mental health conditions across diverse populations, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean—regions characterized by unique genetic admixtures and distinct environmental factors. 👇

This landmark study reveals a significant disparity in psychiatric genomics research, with over 85% of participants in genome-wide association studies being of European ancestry. 👇
