Understanding Depression, Reconnecting with Life
Depression therapy in San Diego for adults navigating persistent low mood, flatness, low motivation, disconnection, and chronic depression. Dr. Makadia offers CBASP therapy and depth-oriented care in person in San Diego and online across California.
Why Therapy Matters
Depression can look like sadness, but often it doesn’t. Many clients experience flatness or muted emotional quality, loss of interest or pleasure (anhedonia), chronic low motivation, and a sense of disconnection from life.
For some, this has been their baseline for so long that imagining feeling differently can feel impossible.
As a depression therapist in San Diego, Dr. Makadia provides evidence-based support, including CBASP therapy for chronic depression, helping clients understand the emotional and relational patterns maintaining their low mood.
Therapy is structured to restore engagement, motivation, and connection, offering a safe space to rebuild interest in life and move forward with clarity and purpose.
Common Areas of Support
Finding Support for Persistent Low Mood
Depression does not always look like sadness. For many people, it feels more like flatness, low energy, muted emotions, or a quiet disconnection from life.
For some, this becomes the normal baseline for years. Motivation feels difficult, pleasure feels distant, and even meaningful relationships or goals may not fully register the way they once did.
Dr. Makadia is a depression therapist in San Diego with training in CBASP, a treatment designed specifically for chronic depression and persistent depressive disorder.
