Saving the NHS money in mental healthcare and the placebo effect

Given the evidence the NHS could save vast amounts of money by handing
out sugar pills that look like antidepressants. Package these pills in
the same way and so the patient couldn't tell the difference. Give these
to new patients who've never tried SSRIs so never experienced the side
effects. Literally millions could be saved using the placebo effect of
SSRIs which is often show in high quality reviews to be as effective as
the active narcotic.
