114. How lies become truth

The power of repetition is undeniable. A lie, repeated often enough, can become the accepted truth. This "illusion of truth effect" applies to all areas of life, including healthcare. In the case of medications like SSRIs and SNRIs, which are commonly prescribed for depression and anxiety, the illusion of truth can have serious consequences.  

The illusion of truth can lead patients to underestimate risks. They may see these medications advertised as safe and effective, without fully understanding the potential downsides. This can lead them to blindly accept the doctor's recommendations without questioning or seeking further information. Don't let the illusion of truth cloud your judgment—ask questions. This is where informed consent becomes crucial.
