Harnessing the Placebo Effect in Major Depressive Disorder
Placebo pills (pills with no active ingredients) have been shown in research studies to
somehow produce self-healing processes. The purpose of this study is to determine whether
people will be willing to enter an open-label non-deceptive placebo treatment for Major
Depressive Disorder (MDD) and whether open-label placebo can be effective for treating MDD
in the context of a supportive physician-patient relationship.
