Atypical depression and double depression predict new ‐onset cardiovascular disease in U.S. adults

CONCLUSIONSAdults with atypical MDD or double depression may be subgroups of the depressed population at particularly high risk of new‐onset CVD. Thus, these subgroups may (a) be driving the overall depression–CVD relationship and (b) be in need of earlier and/or more intense CVD primary prevention efforts to reduce their excess CVD burden.
