Dr. Schmidt would like to investigate the effectiveness of a newly

invented drug to treat clinical depression. Specifically, he would like to determine if it is more effective than current medications for this disorder. With this in mind, design an experiment using the double-blind procedure and explain how the placebo effect could impact the results of this study. Be sure to identify your dependent and independent variables, as well as any confounding variables. Also, specify your experimental and control conditions. Identify any experimental procedures that would help to ensure the reliability of your research.
