The Spanish star's season of struggle continued in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Everton as he failed to make any impact at Goodison Park.
Torres has scored just once in 10 appearances this season after returning from the World Cup with a groin injury.
Hodgson admits Torres is struggling mentally and that he needs to score a couple of goals to regain his confidence.
"He got battered in the World Cup for his performances for Spain and I think mentally he's a little bit low and he needs a goal or two to get his confidence back," said Hodgson.
"Certainly I had no qualms about his performance (against Everton). The chance at the end, if that had gone in, maybe that's the catalyst he needs to take him over the edge and get him playing at his very best.
"Fernando is going through a bad time, his confidence is low, he needs a goal, so if you are talking about him, I would have to agree."
