Abstract

Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity, has gained increasing attention as a protective factor for mental health outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis examine the relationship between resilience and various mental health indicators, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and overall psychological well-being. Drawing from longitudinal studies, cross-sectional analyses, and intervention trials, the review synthesizes evidence on the effects of individual and environmental factors on resilience levels and mental health outcomes. Additionally, it explores potential mechanisms underlying the resilience-mental health relationship, such as coping strategies, social support, and neurobiological pathways.
