Phenelzine is the drug used to treat patients suffering from atypical depression or treatment resistant depression. The present article will review the different approaches in the treatment of atypical depression and the role of phenelzine. Phenelzine is not the drug of choice in treatment of mild or moderate depression because of its adverse effects profile. It is the drug used in treatment of severe depression. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), chromium, and cognitive therapy are the options for treatment of mild or moderate depression because of their safety profile. Despite advances in agents for treatment of depression, treatment for atypical depression remains dependent upon older agents for the greatest efficacy.
