Psychological Resilience

Meaning

Psychological resilience is the adaptive mental and emotional capacity of an individual to cope with, recover from, and successfully adjust to stress, adversity, trauma, or significant life challenges. This trait is not innate but can be developed and strengthened, representing a dynamic process of positive adaptation. In the context of hormonal health, high psychological resilience is critical because chronic psychological stress directly impairs the HPA axis and disrupts the delicate balance of sex and thyroid hormones. Cultivating this mental strength is a vital component of holistic wellness and longevity.
