Medscape (6/6, Anderson) reports that according to a study published online June 4 in JAMA Psychiatry, “major depressive disorder (MDD) with atypical features, including increased appetite and hypersomnia, is linked to obesity and other measures of adiposity.” The study of 3,054 adults in Switzerland also revealed that “the elevated body mass index (BMI) in patients with atypical depression is not a temporary phenomenon but persists after depressive symptoms remit and is not attributable to new episodes.”
