Is it even true that someone who is determined to overcome an illness has more chance than someone who is passive, or even indifferent? If so how? Isn’t it the immune system and/or the medications and drugs that are doing the work?

The placebo effect is an excellent subject to read about, it shows soo well how strong our minds actually are, and just how much can we change with the right focus. After all it’s the basis of meditating.
When we start to feel hopeful and actually start feeling like we are doing something to get over a illness, our brain release alot of chemicals that encourage us to keep that behavior going, making us happier, with a bit of anesthesia for our pain and actually boosting slightly our immune system.
Therefor, when someone has a great mental they will overall feel better during the hard times of the illness, they will be more open to take the meds on the right time/doses, they will be open to new procedures to try and solve it, they will start having healthier habits, all this from their own mental
