Overview

Atypical depression is a type of depression that is relatively more common than other types of depression, such as major depression. It is characterized by a range of unique symptoms, such as increased appetite and sensitivity to rejection, as well as an inability to experience pleasure. It can be very debilitating and is often associated with high levels of anxiety. Treatment of atypical depression usually involves a combination of medication, such as SSRIs or SNRIs, as well as various types of psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy. Proper diagnosis and treatment of atypical depression is important for improving the quality of life of affected individuals.
