Prescription for Happiness

7 Jul 2024

11:30 - 12:30

University of Bradford

Over eight million people in the UK are on antidepressants, with approximately two million people having taken them for five years. Here, we question the benefits and downsides of a prescription for happiness.   

Join psychiatrist, scientist, psychopharmacologist, and author, Dr David Healy, as he shares the history of psychopharmacology, his clinical trials research in the area, and the impact of both trials and psychotropic drugs on our culture.  

With an ever-increasing portion of our society becoming reliant on pills for positivity, unknown long-term side effects, and an industry profiting from every prescription, what does the future hold?  

Please note, this venue and time has changed from the printed programme.
