HOW do placebos work and should doctors be using them?

If you’re new here, welcome, my name is Roberta, I am a Medical Doctor and a Science Writer. On this channel I cover the latest optimistic scientific findings and discuss what they might mean for us. Today’s video is about the placebo effect and why it may help us more than we think. We will also touch on whether doctors should be using it in their practice!

I have always really like placebos and it's really cool how they work! I don't really have any problems with honest placebos, since the patient knows it's a placebo as long as they are given the option to choose among other treatments (if they exist).

I do apologize if this comes off as rude, but could you balance your audio a bit? The "s" sound is maxing out and is very loud compared to the rest of the audio.
