really, there are all kinds of depression..these days, it seems like you're either unipolar depressed, antidepressant commercial style, or you're considered something else.
You could have agitated depression...people w/ this condition can get angry. Or akathitic depression. Or possibly some sort of mild mixed episode (which would overlap w/ agitated depression). You could also have reactive depression, not endogenous depression--in that case, you'd benefit from therapy and different meds, like MAOIs and SRIs. You could also be have cyclothymia (which overlaps w/ bipolar II).
