That would be the placebo effect. It is when patients are given “false” medicine in the first place because there is nothing wrong with them. The patient takes the “false medicine and starts to believe that it’s working. In reality the medicine is doing nothing at all

Answer: The placebo effect

Step-by-step explanation:

The placebo effect occurs when a person experiences a perceived improvement in their condition or symptoms after receiving a treatment or intervention that is inert or has no specific therapeutic value. In other words, the belief that a treatment will be effective can lead to a real or perceived improvement in a person's condition. It highlights the influence of psychological and cognitive factors on health outcomes.
