The Kind of Things you study in Psychology

1.My Mom was suffering a bad headache that day, and asked my Dad to get her some pain killers.

My Dad got her two pills and a glass of water, and she took them immediately.

About half an hour later, my Mom was refreshed and back to alive. She felt great and full of energy again.

Actually, my Dad just gave her two pills of Vitamin C.

2.One night, my Mom couldn't fall asleep anyhow, restless in bed. She asked my Dad to get her some sleeping pills.

My Dad got her two pills and a glass of water, and she took them immediately.

 Later, she had a sound sleep like a baby.

Actually, my Dad just gave her two pills of Vitamin C.

…

These two stories happened truly in my family.

My Dad is a doctor.

This is called the Placebo Effect.
