Psychoneuroendocrinology of Resilience: An Overview
Chapter
First Online:
Abstract
Resilience is defined as the ability to bounce back from trauma and stressful situations. Resilience has many psychosocial and biological variables that play a role in its genesis and development. The present chapter looks at the psychoneuroendocrinological basis of resilience and looks at various hormones that play a role in the genesis, development and maintenance of resilience.
