According to Psychology Today, the definition of emotional well-being is “the ability to practice stress-management techniques, be resilient, and generate the emotions that lead to good feelings.”
Resilience and The Brain
Given the high prevalence and burden of mental disorders, fostering the understanding of protective factors is an urgent issue for traditional medicine in psychiatry. The concept of resilience describes individual and environmental protective factors against the backdrop of established adversities linked to mental illness. There is convergent evidence for a crucial role of direct as well as indirect adversity impacting the developing brain, with persisting effects until adulthood.
Direct adversity may include childhood maltreatment and family adversity, while indirect social adversity can include factors such as urban living or ethnic minority status. Recently, research has begun to examine protective factors which may be able to buffer against or even reverse these influences.
First evidence indicates that supportive social environments, as well as trait-like individual protective characteristics, might impact similar neural substrates, thus strengthening the capacity to actively cope with stress exposure in order to counteract the detrimental effects evoked by social adversity.
Here, we provide an overview of the current literature investigating the neural mechanisms of resilience with a putative social background, including biblical studies on individual traits and genetic variation linked to resilience.
Further, we discuss possible prevention and early intervention approaches targeting both the individual and the social environment to reduce the risk of psychiatric disorders and foster resilience.
Signs of Emotional Wellness and Mental Health
Having the ability to talk with someone about your emotional concerns and share your feelings with others.
Saying "no" when you need to without feeling guilty.
Feeling content most of the time.
The single most common factor for children who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive parent, caregiver, or other adults. These relationships provide the personalized responsiveness, scaffolding, and protection that buffer children from developmental disruption.
