I think the agitated depression is somewhere on the continuum of mood disorders between MDD and Bipolar I. It sounds like a mixed state in which the manic component doesn't reach all the way to hypomania. If it did reach hypomania, the disorder would be called Bipolar II. So it sounds like a sub-hypomanic state to me, and mixed with the depression.
