In reply to Atypical Depression versus Bipolar Depression, posted by SLS on December 14, 2009, at 7:26:02
> Atypical depression and bipolar depression look very similar. Anergia and reverse vegetative symptoms predominate (hypersomnia, hyperphagia, and leaden paralysis).
I forgot about rejection sensitivity as being a symptom. After doing a bit of follow-up snooping, I found that some researchers believe that it is present in bipolar depression. There is still debate regarding mood reactivity.
I was hoping to get some more feedback from people with bipolar depression regarding the presence or absence of mood reactivity (If you are depressed and something nice happens, you feel better for a while).
