The contemporary diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) primarily relies on subjective assessments and self-reported measures, often resulting in inconsistent and imprecise evaluations. To address this issue and facilitate early intervention, there is a growing interest in utilizing objective criteria such as Electroencephalography (EEG) features analyzed through Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. This systematic review explores the advances in EEG-based detection of MDD using both shallow and deep learning methods, with the aim of enhancing understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying the disorder and identifying potential biomarkers for its diagnosis.
