E37: Depression, Scoliosis, and Powerlifting (Cassie Arenz)

Disabled Girls Who Lift

Depression, Scoliosis, and Powerlifting. No, they are not mutually exclusive! Now that we got that out of the way... This episode’s focus is on mental health management, living with depression and anxiety, and pharmaceutical medications. Cassie Arenz takes us through her lifelong journey with depression, scoliosis, and sport. She also shares her personal experience with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as a form of therapy treatment for depression. Through it all, powerlifting, running, and kitty cuddles have all also contributed as their own forms of therapy. How do you manage?

A message from DGWL: We do our very best to ensure we are inclusive to all members of the community. Not very many podcasts consider the deaf and hard-of-hearing population, but we applaud those who do and challenge those who don’t. That said, we are looking for volunteers to help us transcribe future episodes--there are transcriptions available online for our current episodes--but we still need help! Please send us a message on our website--www.disabledgirlswholift.com--if you have transcribing experience and are interested in joining the crew!
