Temperament

Temperament plays a significant role in mental health, influencing vulnerability to disorders. It's shaped by genetic factors and early experiences, affecting emotional reactivity and regulation. Understanding individual temperaments can aid in tailoring interventions and predicting potential mental health risks. Temperament traits interact with environmental stressors, potentially contributing to the development or resilience against mental health issues.
