Hi D/RNo I have never seen this literature, but thank you for posting it. I just read the abstract and am now interested to see if what they observe in unipolar atypical depression is different from what I observe in myself as a bipolar depressive.
As I am sure you have done, I have at times acted as a passive and objective observer of my illness and its features. I concluded that an overactive sympathetic system was a possible explanations for the things I was experiencing. That was in 1982. It wasn't until 1990 that I actually began to discuss my observations with a doctor, and he used the term "dysautonomia" to describe what I had noted in myself. Since then, this model of autonomic dysfunction has explained very well much of what has been discovered subsequent to those conversations.
