I think bipolar depression often carries more anxiety with it. Isn't the main difference between being bipolar and suffering from atypical depression is simply that bipolars experience mania of some sort before and/or after their depression and atypical depressives do not? I know it can be confusing, especially when today someone who has not ever really experienced mania- mixed, hypomanic, or euphoric-can be diagnosed with bipolar. Maybe, in these cases, the diagnosis should have been atypical depression. Yes, this can get confusing.
