What is oxytocin, what does it do, what are the symptoms of deficiency?
Oxytocin, often called the "Love hormone" or "Cuddle chemical," is a neuropeptide produced in the brain. It plays a crucial role in social bonding, trust, and emotional connection. Recent research also links it to empathy and stress reduction. Oxytocin's influence extends beyond romantic love, impacting parent-child bonding and even social interactions. Understanding its role in human relationships and behavior has potential implications for mental health and therapies.
