That's actually a really good wording.
- jjeaff 4y agoI was talking to a psychiatrist friend of mine about placebo effect and he told me that it definitely can make a big difference. But I asked him if he ever just gave placebo pills to patients and he said no because he felt that would be unethical. I didn't really think to ask whether it would really be unethical if it might help.
