When you don’t get enough physical touch (sometimes called touch starvation) you can become stressed, anxious, or depressed. As a response to stress, your body makes a hormone called cortisol. When you engage in physical touch, like a hug, your brain releases a hormone called oxytocin. This makes you feel good and firms up emotional and social bonds while lowering anxiety and fear.
