Dr. Amit Sood, MD stated that resiliency is “Your ability to withstand adversity and bounce back and grow despite life’s downturns”. It is important because it gives people the ability to overcome hardships.
If you lack resiliency, you become easily overwhelmed and you may resort to unhealthy coping methods such as drugs, alcohol or other addictive behaviors.
