> RicardoIt is depression in which instead of losing sleep, you sleep too much, and instead of losing weight, you might eat too much. It also can involve feeling heavy or weighted down in your whole body, or in just your arms and/or legs. I think a lot of atypically depressed people are overly sensitive to other people's real and imagined rejections of them.
You can look at this web site for info:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11711170&dopt=AbstractFor some reason it's called atypical depression, but the web pages I've been looking at say it is very common, and maybe more common than "regular" depression.
