> Just to add my two cents worth, I'm mixed melancholic-atypical, but more atypical. I was a non-suppressor with a low-normal 24-hour cortisol; after TMS, I became a suppressor, and am trying hard to stay that way-for me, this coincided with a remission. (I'm female).

> PfinsteggI thought it was interesting to note that in the Gold/Chrousos meta-analysis study I cited before, only 25-30% of unipolar depressives are pure melancholic while another 15-30% present pure atypical features. The rest are mixed, but those that do feature more pure melancholic or atypical features show a much more severe course than those with mixed features.
