You can catch the β€˜nocebo’ effect from family, friends – even social media. But what is it, actually? The nocebo effect is the opposite of the placebo effect. And it can affect what we think of medicines, and the side-effects we report.

⭐️ PhD candidate Cosette Saunders wrote a great article for @aunz.theconversation.com discussing the #nocebo effect and how it's relevant to you (e.g., it can be socially transmitted to you through the social media platform you're using right now)! πŸ€•
