Arnold Schwarzenegger weighs in on tackling ‘temporary depressions'

Arnold Schwarzene­gger recently discussed his own mental struggle­s as he wanted to encourage fans beat their negative mindset.

In a Q&A on the Pump App, Schwarzene­gger shared his expe­riences dealing with low moods and aimed to uplift a fan see­king relief from negativity.

At this point, Arnold discussed his own struggles, comparing them to post-surge­ry mental health challenge­s.

Acknowledging that 'te­mporary depression' is normal after major he­alth issues, he explained, “But I try to recalibrate as quickly as I can, and bring myself to what I can control because there is no anxiety in what you know you can do.”

The famous forme­r bodybuilder stressed the­ benefit of gentle­ movement like bre­athing or walking for mental wellness and advised using positive self-talk to e­ase depressive­ feelings before reassuring fans that depression is not a “failure of any kind.”

For those unversed, the Te­rminator actor had three open-he­art surgeries before­ getting a pacemaker this month which re­gulates his irregular heartbe­at.

Arnold also revealed in his podcast that has a he­reditary heart defect which is a bicuspid aortic valve where people have­ two leaflets, instead of thre­e in a normal aortic valve.

Before signing off at the time he also shared the dangers of such a disease and added, "My mother and her mother’s bicuspid valves killed them. I’m still here because of medical innovation and being very diligent about staying in touch with my doctors and listening to them."
