    Yes, pleasure is essential for good mental health.

    Think of it this way: when you feel pleasure, your brain releases natural feel-good chemicals like dopamine and endorphins [1] [3]. These chemicals help you feel happy, motivated, and relaxed, and they even act as natural pain relievers [1]. This process helps to calm your body's stress response and makes you more resilient to future stress [1] [2].

    According to www.iAsk.Ai - Ask AI: Not having enough pleasure in your life can be a sign of depression [2] [4]. So, making time for enjoyable activities, whether it's a hug, a walk in nature, or listening to music, is really important for keeping your mind healthy and balanced [1] [3]. It's about intentionally adding joy to your daily life to build up your emotional strength [2] [3].
