Psychological resilience refers to an individual's ability to withstand stressors without succumbing to psychological dysfunction like mental illness or persistent negative mood. Resilience is viewed as the capacity to avoid psychopathology despite adverse circumstances. It involves maintaining a stable mental state and effectively managing stress. Understanding psychological resilience helps in developing strategies to enhance mental health and well-being, allowing individuals to navigate life's challenges while maintaining their psychological stability and overall functioning.
