Background: Atypical depression (AD) is one of the commonly experienced depressive subtypes and is predicted to become more prevalent despite the term 'atypical', implying that the condition is rare.
Objective: This scoping review synthesises the evidence on the manifestation and measurement of AD.
Design: Quantitative studies published in English that mentioned atypical depression (and related terms) in adults were identified by searching the online databases CINAHL, MEDLINE Complete, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science.
This computational study investigates the adsorption of various spiropyran and merocyanine isomers on a NaCl substrate using a combination of density functional theory (DFT) and molecular mechanics (MM) calculations. Four different charge methods were used to determine the partial atomic charges for the adsorbate molecules, including Mulliken population analysis and three electrostatic potential (ESP) methods (Merz-Kollman, ChelpG, and Hu-Lu-Yang), while three different force fields (AMBER 3, CHARMM 27, and MM+) were employed for the MM calculations. The results show that the various DFT charge methods produced similar outcomes for the molecules' partial atomic charges, with some exceptions for individual atoms and methods.

Improvements to nutrition and exercise are important, but mental health requires a psychological approach. Self-determination theory finds that autonomy is essential to wellbeing while experiences of being controlled undermine it.
