Atypical depression involves emotional reactivity, meaning you can have mood changes based on others or situation more so than in regular depression. It also invovles excessive eating versus loss of appetite, excessive sleeping versus insomnia, and hypersensitivity to rejection. These characteristics distinguish it from typical depression.
