Depressed patients with atypical features have a different
hypothalamicpituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis profile depending on their
illness course, suggesting that they represent biologically distinct

Treatment outcomes and brain laterality are different in patients with
early-onset chronic depression who have atypical features from those
seen in patients with either later onset or less chronic depression.
