Interesting article about pill side effects being in the mind. This is not to discount all people suffering from propecia side effects, as of course they do exist, but the mind is a powerful thing, as shown by the Placebo Effect, which makes sense to me to have the opposite effect too, the Nocebo Effect.

They certainly aren't all in the mind. But yes, you can definitely imagine them. Like I was positive I had gyno...now I don't even think of it. I just put on 30 pounds in the last five months ^^

Oh there is no doubting the placebo effect is very strong and affects most people. That being said I do think in most cases if you see a major change from normal its most likely not in your mind. DHT is a powerful male hormone its just common sense it has roles in some pretty key areas and maybe in some yet unknown areas
