With the placebo effect it sure does.
Actually no. The placebo effect is not caused due to the rise in blood sugar, but more of a psychological effect. The actual pill has no effect on the body, as sometimes there isn't any sugar in it at all. The way it works is that when the patient takes the pill, they believe that is miracle pill and their depression diminishes. It's similar to how people who pray usually have healthier and less depressing lives than those who don't.

Everything is psychological. My dad's a general practitioner.

Therefore, sugar does not increase someone's activity level/makes them hyper.

I know; I meant if a person intakes sugar and gets hyper, then it's still the sugar making them hyper. Maybe it's not physically forcing them into the state, but because of the placebo effect, the sugar mentally caused it. Like in your example, it's still the pill making people happy.

I know the placebo effect doesn't just work with depression, I was just using it in a medical scenario in which it mainly deals with depression due to diseases and illnesses.

I still stand by my statement that sugar doesn't make someone hyper, but only through biological means such as cellular respiration and the creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which our bodies use as a source of energy. However, I do see what you mean and it makes perfect sense, but unlike you, I like to approach things through a more physical and biological sense (obviously) over a psychiatric view.

Yea, I edited that part out, because I misread what you posted. And I guess we shall agree to disagree, then. :3
