What is atypical depression?
Atypical depression is a subtype of depression with certain specific characteristics. A person with classic clinical depression has at least five, and possibly more, of the following symptoms or signs:
* sadness
* loss of energy
* feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness
* loss of enjoyment in things that were once pleasurable
* difficulty concentrating
* uncontrollable crying
* difficulty making decisions
* irritability
* increased need for sleep
* insomnia or excessive sleep
* unexplained aches and pains
* stomachache and digestive problems
* decreased sex drive
* sexual problems
* headache
* a change in appetite that causes weight loss or gain
* thoughts of death or suicide
* attempting suicide
In general, people with atypical depression don't have as many of the symptoms that people with classical depression may have. They also tend to have first experienced depression at an early age, during their teenage years.
hat are the symptoms of atypical depression?
The main characteristic of atypical depression that distinguishes it from major depression is mood reactivity. In other words, the person with atypical depression will see his or her mood improve if something positive happens. In major, or melancholic, depression, positive changes will not bring on a change in mood. In addition, diagnostic criteria call for at least two of the following symptoms to accompany the mood reactivity:
* sleeping too much (hypersomnia)
* eating too much (hyperphagia), resulting in weight gain
* having a more intense reaction or increased sensitivity to rejection, resulting in problems with social and work relationships
* having a feeling of being weighed down, paralyzed, or "leaden
While the exact cause of depression is unknown, there are risk factors for depression, including:
* a family history of depression
* a significant loss -- from death, divorce, or separation -- that results in grief
* interpersonal conflicts and related emotions such as guilt
* any type of abuse -- physical, sexual, or emotional
* any type of major life event such as moving, changing or losing a job, graduating, retiring
* any type of serious illness such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, or HIV
* drug or alcohol abuse
* isolation or exclusion from family, friends, or other social groups
