Placebo’s can work because of the self fulfilling prophecy. Someone who thinks they’re getting better will feel happier and thus, live a healthier lifestyle. Someone that feels hopeless about their medical condition will feel more depressed and more likely to self destruct with negative coping mechanisms like drinking or laying at home all day
