I wasn't aware you could just give someone oxytocin via a nasal spray. That seems like it would be a pretty effective antidepressant. Sometimes I really feel like I just need a hug... Why don't they sell that stuff over the counter?
- belorn 6y agoOxytocin has this wonderful effect of increasing pro-social behavior and reward response towards people that one identify as in-group. The drawback however is that a similar effect occur to our behavior towards members of the out-group, but with the effects of fear, lower pro-social behavior and lower rewards. It could have some problematic effects if given as an antidepressant.
