This is pretty simple though right?
Healing factor - always-on healing.
Have you not read the hundreds of stories about people unable to die?
Don't we already have that?
Not for everything and not good enough though.
Especially for something as complex as mental illnesses/trauma your body has hardly any ability to heal by itself.
Though then we can get pedantic: How long should you feel down when someone you love died? Because I don't consider it a bad thing for something like this to take a while before healing. It'd suck to attend their funeral having completely healed already.

What if thereβs an earthquake and you get stuck under a mountain of rubble? Could take months for you to get out of there. How about a skiing accident involving an avalanche? Could take even longer When you are completely immortal, you suddenly start to view certain risks in a very different way.
Always on healing includes mental health :)
