Vincent Hammes @vincenthammes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Many adversities and trauma-scale stressors are widespread and collectively experienced, and prevention is not simply an individual responsibility but requires community and governance efforts. 000
Vincent Hammes @vincenthammes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026At the same time, resilience is not an unambiguously favourable outcome, since it presupposes adversity. We should acknowledge that mitigating risk is just as important as fostering resilience, and we have to be careful about the responsibilisation of positive mental health. 100
Vincent Hammes @vincenthammes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Further, a dichotomous operationalisation that equates resilience with the absence of illness misses those who fare remarkably well given their risk, despite developing depressive symptoms. 100
Vincent Hammes @vincenthammes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026A couple of additional thoughts: When talking about resilience, we have to take individual and cumulative adversity into account rather than modelling adaptation in response to single stressors. 100
Vincent Hammes @vincenthammes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Out now in Molecular Psychiatry: Resilience to and in depression is associated with delayed brain structual differences!

Brain changes linked to childhood maltreatment are among the field's most published findings. Yet, we find extensive replication failure of gray matter correlates in three large cohorts (N=3225), consistent across subsamples, models and operationalizations🧵 22923
