Resilience - What is it and how do we promote it?

到目前为止，精神病学研究主要集中在了解精神疾病和治疗方法上。相反，这项研究计划旨在了解那些“有弹性”、能够从创伤和逆境中恢复并茁壮成长的人的特征。它将首次建立定义韧性的生物大脑标记，以及基因和环境在这些途径中的影响。这项研究还将验证旨在提高复原力的电子健康认知训练工具的个性化解决方案。

Psychiatric research to date has predominantly focused on understanding mental illness and ways to treat it. This research program instead aims to understand the characteristics of those people who are 'resilient' and able to bounce back from trauma and adversity and thrive. For the first time, it will establish the biological brain markers that define resilience, and the impact of genetics and environment in these pathways. This study will also validate personalised solutions to e-health cognitive training tools that aim to boost resilience.
