Pessimism Blocks Pain Therapy

New brain research proves doctors like Anders Cohen are onto something: Pessimism can override the effectiveness of even powerful treatments.This is no means a new finding. Previous research has proven people given a "dummy pill"  experience effects of the medication they believed they were receiving.

While there's a lot yet to learn, for now doctors should at least try building closer relationships with their patients to encourage trust in recommended treatments.  Neuroscientist, Dr. Randy Gollub of Massachusetts General Hospital says, " Building these strong, positive expectations for doing well are part of what comes from believing in your treater as someone who cares about you."
