Concept:

Love and Affection: 

• Love is a connection to someone that combines mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual elements.
• When a person adores someone or something, it is called affection.

Explanation:

Psycho-social need: 

• The psychosocial definition is how an individual manages and accepts their own thoughts and behaviours in relation to external factors, such as friends, family, colleagues, and community members.
• It does this by examining the intersection of one's individual thoughts/needs and external social factors.
• The social dimension encompasses connections, family and community networks, societal values, and cultural practices. 
• The psychological dimension covers internal, emotional, and thinking processes, thoughts, and reactions.
• There are eight stages of psychosocial development, according to Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory.
• Intimacy vs isolation is the sixth stage in theory.
• This period lasts typically between the ages of 19 and 40 years of age.
• At this point in life, developing close, loving relationships with others is the main source of strife.
• Achieving this goal results in satisfying partnerships.
• On the other hand, struggling at this point can make you feel isolated and alone.

Thus, the need for love and affection is a psycho-social need.
