Very often this reveals itself in unconcious movements, such as playing with something in one’s hands, or pacing around the room; and if such an action also serves to increase pleasure or relieve displeasure, all the better.



I can’t understand the sturucture of conjunction in this sentence.



I can get the meaning, then i can see the phrase ‘all the better’ is conjuncted with the the sentence ‘this reveals itself.’ But all the better is not a sentence.



or i could see the phrase as an adverb(very often) and adverb( if~better.)



Which one is right? Or both of them are wrong?
