“…A variety of biological factors has been proposed to influence the process of psychological resilience and vulnerability. Some of these factors include inflammation markers (Wang et al, 2018 ), various genetic markers such as FKBP5 gene (Feder et al, 2009 ; Russo et al, 2012 ), resting state connectivity (Workman et al, 2017 ), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Brown et al, 2020 ; Rothman & Mattson, 2013 ), autonomic nervous system (Pereira, Campos & Sousa, 2017 ), hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis (Baumeister et al, 2014 ), glutamate (Reus et al, 2018 ), endocannabinoids (Maldonado et al, 2020 ), and structural brain abnormalities (Dedovic et al, 2009 ). Additionally, the physical health status of an individual, such as suffering from a chronic or acute disease, and lifestyle factors, such as diet and level of physical exercise, can serve as important biologically related predictors of the resilience-vulnerability (Alexandratos et al, 2012 ; Bremner et al, 2020 ; Carreira et al, 2018 ; Goubert & Trompetter, 2017 ; Pham et al, 2019 ).While neurobiological factors specific to an individual have been shown to affect the level of resilience-vulnerability of a person, similarly a range of psychological trait-like characteristics have also been posited to play a key role.…”
