Hi,
The name 'atypical depression' comes from the fact that the first from of depression to be widely recognised by psychiatrists was characterised by insomnia, lack of improvement of mood in response to good things and loss of appetite... ie. some of the symptoms were the opposite so excessive appetite and oversleeping were said to be 'atypical'.
