We are losing sight and sense of health'
David Healy is a true powerhouse in the world of pharmacology and psychiatry! This trailblazing professor and historian has made a name for himself by fearlessly tackling some of the most pressing issues in medicine today. His research focuses on the contribution of antidepressants to suicide and the history of pharmacology. He is also known for criticising a lack of neutrality regarding psychotropic drugs and his role in ‘Toronto Affair’ over academic freedom.
Healy's work isn't just influential - it's downright revolutionary. His groundbreaking book, Pharmageddon, pulls back the curtain on the American medical industry, exposing the ways in which pharmaceutical giants market diseases and manipulate the authority of academics and journalists for their own gain.
"An enfant terrible―and a very brave man. I doubt he is on Pfizer’s Christmas card list." - Times Literary Supplement
