Mental Resilience

Meaning

Mental Resilience is the psychological and neurobiological capacity of an individual to successfully adapt to and recover from significant stress, adversity, trauma, or major life challenges while meticulously maintaining stable mental and emotional well-being. This essential capacity is not merely the passive absence of distress but an active, dynamic process of positive adaptation and functional recovery. It is heavily influenced by the precise regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the balanced function of key neurotransmitter systems. High mental resilience is a critical component for long-term hormonal and overall healthspan.
