Resilience is the brain's ability to "re-route" around damage. In this episode of No Nonsense Psychiatry, we look at the role of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) in emotional recovery. We strip away the "stay positive" platitudes to examine how the Prefrontal Cortex learns to inhibit the Amygdala through repeated exposure to challenge. We provide three actionable ways to increase your "Recovery Velocity" and strengthen your neural response to adversity.
