The medicine in our minds


This news talk about the miracle pills which in reality shouldn’t do anything. Placebos are in all shapes and sizes, they contain no active ingredient but mysteriously they often work.

Paul explains that he doesn’t do anything without his medication, without it he doesn’t have enough dopamine to start to do things in his life. A few years ago, Paul took part in a test that Prof Stoessl was conducting, it required him to stop taking his medication. The next day Paul went to the hospital and explained his symptoms in full flare-up.


My opinion about this news is that I think for some people medicine is more psychological than other thing, and this in our society is a problem because every day the medicine is more expensive and we can’t throw away the money in this way.

  1. Hi Pau!
    How are you?
    Your post is really unique because you talk about placebos. Placebos are used by a lot of people these days and I believe that they are really well sold. Nevertheless, I think that these people are wasting their money in a bad way as placebos do not have an "active components" in them.
