Just found out about atypical depression.... why have I never been told about this by any of the doctors or psychiatrists/counsellors I've seen? Can anyone else tell me about their experiences being diagnosed with this, or is it something they only recognise in the US?
I've been struggling with depression since my teens (I'm now 24) and have never understood why it just wouldn't go away, why no medication really seemed to work, and why I was sleeping and eating so much when you're supposed to lose weight and not sleep when depressed (this was made worse because my mother suffered "classic" depression and I think expected mine to take the same course as hers).
Anyone id, and what kind of medication has worked?
