***There are two types of depression***

Depression originating from a bad or disturbing event in your life
Depression which appears without apparent cause - the most common
The first type of depression is easier for you to tackle because the cause is known. The first step is to deal with the event that triggered your depression. It may have started as a result of a death, an accident, a divorce or any other type of setback.

The second type of depression is more difficult to deal with as the source is unknown. It is the most common form of depression. It may vary from a feeling of the "blues" to a feeling that life has no meaning anymore. Two things are important:

- how much it affects your life

- how long you have been suffering from it

This kind of depression is harder on you because others won't be so sympathetic as they would had there been an obvious cause.

What is Atypical Depression?
Sufferers of depression with atypical features will respond to negative or positive external events. They'll feel deeply depressed or somewhat hopeful depending on the latest situation they are faced with. Their mood will brighten considerably when dining out with friends or enjoying a good movie. But when they are alone, their mood will slip back into the dark depths of depression.

This type of depression usually follows an interpersonal rejection by a lover, boss, or close friend. People with atypical depression tend to overeat and oversleep, whereas people with melancholia often are characterized by weight loss and insomnia.

People with atypical depression feel paralyzed or too tired to get out of bed. Chocolate is particularly important as a comfort food.
