It is impossible for anyone to live a life that is free from stress. As per stress vulnerability model, stress in the environment can worsen biological vulnerability, worsen symptoms, and cause relapses in a person having mental health problems. It has been recognized that developing resilience is one key factor in preventing mental health problems and is also one of the key components of promoting good mental health. In a country like India where more than 90% of persons of persons suffering from mental disorders do not seek treatment, the increase in community resilience will not only decrease the burden of families but it can reduce the chances of aggression and violence as well.”
