Abstract

Understanding the sex-dependent relationship between polygenic risk for chronotypes, childhood traumas, and depression is critical.

  • Depression is influenced by various neurobiological factors and can manifest in different forms.
  • Distinct depressive phenotypes may be driven by early trauma and other biological factors.
  • Sex differences could play a significant role in both the development and treatment of depression.
  • Investigating polygenic risk for chronotypes may reveal insights into these sex-dependent associations.
