Oxytocin, known as the love hormone, plays a crucial role in human behavior and well-being. It not only enhances feelings of love and connection but also shows potential in treating obesity, behavioral problems, and postnatal depression. The significance of pleasure in human life cannot be understated; individuals require a baseline level of pleasure to maintain mental stability. Without access to healthy sources of pleasure, people may resort to detrimental behaviors to seek fulfillment. By administering oxytocin, individuals experience a sense of satisfaction that reduces their cravings for pleasure from less healthy sources, thereby addressing various psychological and behavioral challenges.
