Atypical anti-psychotics can be helpful for depression, but their name comes from the fact that they are chemically different than the "typical" anti-psychotics, which means they work by a different, or "atypical" mechanism. The atypicals are sort of "new and improved" and are not meant SPECIFICALLY for atypical depression, but they do help some depressives. Hope this answers your question.
