Doesn't surprise me, Amos. Physical reality is a manifested effect of spiritual intention and force. The conscious soul builds a physical body a cell at a time, through normal biological processes starting at the time of conception. The subsequent health of that physical body is affected by its habits, the environment around it, AND the consciousness within it at all times. Change the consciousness within and the physical health can also change in a remarkable fashion, for better or worse.
Depression is self-created, although the self that creates it may indeed be unconsciously triggered into doing so by its emotional REACTION to outer circumstances. Its reaction is a matter of choice, but choice is limited by available levels of awareness.
Accordingly, a placebo can result in extraordinary healing effects if the consciousness of the person receiving the placebo undergoes a gain in confidence and begins healing the person from within.
People glow with health when they are feeling very positive. They wilt when they are feeling hopeless and depressed. That is because a happy system moves vital energy through the whole body in a powerful and effective manner, while a depressed system stagnates itself and blocks vital energy.
Reductionists don't get it. They seem to think a human being is just a construction made out of Lego blocks or something along that line. They are seeing less than half of the whole picture.
