Pat,
You might be interested to know that "atypical depression" used to be a vague term that was used to mean a lot of different things. Quitkin and some of his colleagues were largely responsible for the more precise, well-validated definition we have today (it actually dates back to before 1980; in that year, it was published in DSM-III).
Researching a subject over a long period of time can be very fruitful, of course, but one has to remember to make sure one's facts are accurate and up-to-date.
In what capacity have you been doing this research, BTW?
