The NOCEBO effect is based on suffering adverse events as a result of negative expectations believing that a remedy, therapy or medication will not work, may even be disadvantageous with respect to the health of the individual.

Fear of treatment without success may complicate the symptoms of the pathology and the side effects of the therapy.

The expectations of the individuals (patients) when taking these medicines take a fundamental role in the results, creating the appearance of the *PLACEBO Effect or the NOCEBO Effect.

It is simply a negative effect of a treatment, a harmful side effect because we do not believe that we are going to be cured, our fears become reality.

Already demonstrating that this effect is applied in medicine and in the field of research, as it affects our day to day, in personal terms it echoes the worst of our situations and unconsciously we end up acting negatively and controlling our fears.

Conclusión

The NOCEBO does not exist in real drugs, but even so it can have unpleasant and harmful consequences at the physiological, emotional and cognitive levels. Bearing in mind that like the placebo effect they depend on unconscious learning of the medical acts and the credibility that they are given.

In short, the brain and science have given us the discoveries that today we give faith to them and elements that we did not think were possible.

There are materials that challenge the laws of physics and concepts that have not been explained and how these processes work, leaving much to discover how the processes of the PLACEBO and NOCEBO Effect, how they work in our lives.
