Ed, very good studies, indeed.
"Patients with atypical depression present with a syndrome that seems the antithesis of melancholia. They are lethargic, fatigued, hyperphagic, hypersomnic, reactive to the environment".
Hummm, that remembers someone ;-) I think that the natural course of the mental (most pathologies) illness (years?) leads ineluctably to the dreaded adrenal burnout.
Although that appears logic to me (adrenal burnout), it is a pure presumption.
Hopefully, more and more scientists have re-oriented their research on glucocorticoides receptors in the brain. In the future, that could lead to a powerfull co-treatment of these disorders.
