Abstract
This chapter summarizes the literature on resilience and vulnerability factors related to late-life mood and anxiety disorders. The author identifies key concepts and definitions of resilience and reviews psychosocial and biological factors contributing to resilience that are universal across age groups, as well as factors that are unique to aging. The author reviews currently existing and potentially useful intervention approaches to promote resilience and well-being as a prevention strategy for late-life mood disorders. Views on future direction in resilience research and interventions targeting resilience are further offered.
