psychological recovery
Healing the mind
Psychological recovery is the process of regaining mental health and stability after trauma, illness, addiction, or crisis.
Unlike physical healing, psychological recovery often follows a nonlinear path—setbacks are common and expected.

Recovery emphasizes ongoing management rather than complete cure.
