The placebo effect has been increasing noticeably over the past 15 years or so

Is that in comparison with antipsychotics, antidepressants and/or other candidate CNS drugs, or across the spectrum of all indications? Also, are there any studies on this matter? Thanks.

I'm guessing that it tracks the increase of Aspartame in the general diet. But that's just a guess...
