Snuggle refers to the act of cuddling or embracing closely, often for the purpose of providing comfort, security, and warmth. It is a common behavior observed in humans and many animal species.

Causes

Snuggling is primarily caused by the desire for physical contact and emotional bonding. It is often initiated in response to feelings of cold, loneliness, or the need for reassurance.

Symptoms

The primary symptoms of snuggling include feelings of comfort, security, and warmth. It may also lead to the release of oxytocin, a hormone associated with bonding and stress reduction.

Treatment

While snuggling itself is not a condition that requires treatment, it can be considered a form of therapy for those seeking emotional support. Common forms of snuggling include cuddling with a partner, hugging a friend, or even holding a pet.

Prognosis

The prognosis for snuggling is excellent, as it is a natural and beneficial behavior that promotes emotional well-being.
