In reply to If placebo eases depression, real meds will too, posted by Tomatheus on October 3, 2015, at 15:03:19
I honestly believe that anyone with depression/anxiety who responds to a placebo, can't be that bad. After all the classic symptoms of depression are a feeling of hopelessness and that you are never going to feel better, in that state of mind how can you ever "imagine" that you do.
I remember when I was 24 and I started to feel very bad, I tried all sorts of remedies, exercise, herbal remedies, Alexander Technique, Yoga, homeopathy and pardon my French but they did jack sh*t. It wasn't until I took antidepressants and they worked that I really noticed a difference. But that's my opinion, maybe there are some people out there who are really bad but who are very suggestible. I don't think that I am suggestible.
