Atypical depression
Atypical depression is a type of depression that does not follow what was thought to be the "typical" presentation of the disorder.
In general, people with atypical depression experience similar symptoms as those with major depressive disorder (MDD) but with one crucial difference: mood reactivity.
In other words, a person's mood is able to improve if something positive happens.
Symptoms:
- Excessive eating or weight gain
- Excessive sleep
- Fatigue, weakness, and feeling "weighed down"
- Intense sensitivity to rejection
- Strongly reactive moods
