Charlatan has the connotation that it is intentional. Many medications that psychiatrist prescribe have been shown not to do much better than placebo. Just going to see a professional has been show to have positive effects. Sometimes, if other treatments aren't working, I don't see a problem with tricking the brain.


1.That's a pretty weasely claim. What portion of medication being prescribed by psychiatrists have been shown to have equal effictiveness to placebos. Could it be a handful psychiatrists that are prescribing ineffective medications? or is this a systemic problem in the field? be specific. Unlike acupuncture, there is a significant body of research that attests to the efficacy of psychiatry in treating illness. 2. There absolutely is a problem with proscribing sham medical practices as legitimate treatments. Not only does it have the potentiality to dissuade patients from seeking actually effective treatments, but it legitimizes it as form of treatment to be regarded as equal to clinically proven methods.
