just wanted to clear up my last post. when i said that these studies are probably selective, i really meant that it is a possiblity, not what i assume. (i know that wasnt clear)
i wonder why placebos work? could it be that the exitment of thinking this pill will help may trigger some sort of dopamine boost, sending the mood back up. (just a guess, i dont have any medical backing here) however, after the excitment is gone, i would not be suprised if some of these cases go into remission, as was stated above.
