> Bipolar II, atypical depression and mixed anxiety/depression are probably just different names for the same thing. Diagnosis and labels (and treatments) tend to be very trendy. It just depends who your talking to at the time.
I can't be sure of this, but I suspect that the presence of mood-reactivity might differentiate between atypical unipolar depression and bipolar disorder. Someone with bipolar depression would be much less likely to experience a mood elevation as a reaction to positive events.
