Depression may unfold as persistent sadness, profound loss of interest in activities, unintended changes in appetite or weight, chronic fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or overly self-critical thoughts that cloud decision-making and self-worth. Anxiety, its frequent companion, brings waves of nervousness, excessive worry about the future, restlessness or fidgetiness, and physical tension that makes relaxation impossible, often intensifying in high-pressure environments or amid trauma. These symptoms, whether rooted in past abuse, grief, or neurodiverse challenges like ADHD, can feel isolating, but recognizing them is the first step toward resilience. Our Depression and Anxiety Quiz below, inspired by evidence-based screening tools, aligns with our trauma-informed, holistic philosophy, inviting reflection on your past two weeks to illuminate patterns and prompt action.

San Diego Mental Health distinguishes itself through a mindful, holistic approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit—beyond traditional therapies to include complementary wellness activities, educational resources, and evidence-based interventions like CBT for reframing thoughts, EMDR for trauma processing, and medication management for mood stabilization. Our residential programs offer immersive support in a nurturing environment, fostering self-discovery and stability for diverse populations, including affirming care for the LGBTQ+ community. We specialize in stabilizing bipolar mood swings, alleviating OCD compulsions, enhancing focus for adult ADD/ADHD, and providing grief counseling to navigate loss. For those impacted by domestic violence or anger, our programs build healthier expressions and relationships. Insomnia and eating disorders receive targeted strategies promoting restorative sleep and body positivity, while schizophrenia treatment blends medical, psychological, and social support.
