Understanding The Placebo Effect

Most individuals have heard the terms ‘placebo’ and ‘placebo effect’ regarding the medical industry before, often specifically referring to medication.

This is something many individuals may vaguely understand, but not entirely. However, truly understanding what the placebo effect is, is quite important when it comes to ensuring effective medical treatment, both for doctors as well as patients.
