> 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.

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.

In clinical trials of antidepressants, the greater the degree of severity, the lower the placebo response rate.
