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

迄今为止，精神病学研究主要集中在理解精神疾病和治疗方法上。相反，这个研究项目的目的是了解那些“有弹性”的人的特征，他们能够从创伤和逆境中恢复过来，并茁壮成长。这是第一次，它将建立定义弹性的生物大脑标记，以及遗传和环境在这些途径中的影响。这项研究还将验证旨在提高弹性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.
