  • Optimising an immersive virtual reality behaviour change intervention to support retired and non-working adults to reduce their sedentary behaviour

    David Healy, Aisling Flynn et al.ARTICLEPsychology & Health2026

    OBJECTIVE: Prolonged sedentary behaviour is associated with numerous negative health outcomes. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) offers opportunities for retired and non-working adults to take part in meaningful non-sedentary activities that may not be available to them in their natural environment. Using the behaviour change wheel and theoretical domains framework, an IVR intervention prototype was developed. This study aimed to explore and optimi…

  • In-Silico Evaluation of Anthropomorphic Measurement Variations on Electrical Cardiometry in Neonates

    Open AccessDavid Healy, David B Healy et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    Non-invasive cardiac output methods such as Electrical Cardiometry (EC) are relatively novel assessment tools for neonates and they enable continuous monitoring of stroke volume (SV). An in-silico comparison of differences in EC-derived SV in relation to preset length and weight was performed. EC (ICON, Osypka Medical) was simulated using the "demo" mode for various combinations of length and weight representative of term and preterm infants. One…

  • Bipolar disorder and its outcomes

    Open AccessOnome Victor Atigari, Margaret Harris et al.ARTICLEHistory of Psychiatry2016

    We compared admission rates and outcomes for bipolar disorder patients using the medical records of patients with a first hospital admission in 1875–1924 retrospectively diagnosed based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 criteria, and patients with a first admission in 1994–2007. The incidences of first admissions in the historical and contemporary periods are comparable: 1.2 and 1.3 per hundred thousand per year, respectively. …

  • Psychiatric ‘diseases’ in history

    Open AccessDavid HealyARTICLEHistory of Psychiatry2014

    A history of psychiatry cannot step back from the question of psychiatric diseases, but the field has in general viewed psychiatric entities as manifestations of the human state rather than medical diseases. In outlining the North Wales History of Mental Illness project, this paper seeks to provide some evidence that psychiatric diseases do rise and fall in incidence, along with evidence as to how such ideas are received by other historians of ps…

  • The shipwreck of the singular

    Open AccessDavid Healy, Intelligence Morale et al.ARTICLESocial Studies of Science2014

    In 1962, Louis Lasagna was one of the central figures in the creation of our current drug regulation systems. His influence on the practice of modern medicine, through a series of unanticipated consequences of these systems, has been profound. In the 1960s, he was one of the most progressive thinkers in medicine. By the 1980s, he had apparently become one of the most reactionary. This article attempts to delineate the dilemmas he believed he was …

  • The morbidity and mortality linked to melancholia

    Open AccessMargaret Harris, Fiona Farquhar et al.ARTICLEHistory of Psychiatry2013

    For over a century, melancholia has been linked to increased rates of morbidity and mortality. Data from two epidemiologically complete cohorts of patients presenting to mental health services in North Wales (1874–1924 and 1995–2005) have been used to look at links between diagnoses of melancholia in the first period and severe hospitalized depressive disorders today and other illnesses, and to calculate mortality rates. This is a study of the ho…

  • Happy Pills in America

    David HealyARTICLESocial History of Medicine2009Citada por: 2

    The book covers the emergence of the tranquilisers and later the antidepressants in North America spanning the years 1950–2000, from miltown through valium and the benzodiazepines to prozac and the SSRIs. The author illustrates the interaction between these drugs and the culture from which they came, picking in particular on issues of gender and the boundary between licit and illicit drugs. At a time when there is a great deal of media scrutiny o…

  • Trussed in Evidence? Ambiguities at the Interface between Clinical Evidence and Clinical Practice

    Open AccessDavid HealyARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2009Citada por: 3Referências: 38

    This article considers the dominance that randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of psychotropic agents currently have in relation to the practice of psychiatry in mental health and primary care settings. In contemporary psychiatry, data of marginal significance based on rating scale measures are privileged as evidence that treatments are effective, while judgments of drug effects based on clinical practice are downgraded. The dominance of RCTs has …

    David HealyARTICLEDiplomatic History2006

    One wonders at first sight whether another book on race and empire could possibly find anything new and useful to say on that well-worn topic. Eric Love’s recent work demonstrates that it is indeed possible to do so. His keen analysis and rigorous argument have produced a valuable and original study. Love begins by accusing virtually all of his predecessors in the field of a serious interpretive error. Central to their “standard narrative” of tur…

Pp. 208. $75.00. ISBN 0–7391–0747–X. This is a book to concern anyone with an interest in a history of childhood mental or behavioural disorders and their treatment, but it is not the history of ADHD and related therapies. It is a sociological analysis of the curre…

  • War and Genocide in Cuba, 1895-1898

    David HealyARTICLEJournal of American History2006

    John Lawrence Tone begins this excellent study by chiding military historians for slighting guerrilla wars, and he has set the bar so high in this work as to present a formidable challenge to succeeding scholars. Wonderfully informative and balanced, the book was researched in Washington, Madrid, Havana, and elsewhere, and it effectively debunks the mythology of both sides in the Cuban struggle. Tone quickly demolishes the Cuban myth that the war…

  • Service utilization in 1896 and 1996

    Open AccessDavid Healy, Margaret Harris et al.ARTICLEHistory of Psychiatry2005

    The 1896 and 1996 populations of North-West Wales are similar in number, ethnic and social mix and rurality, enabling a study of the comparative prevalence of service utilization, as well as the morbidity and mortality associated with mental illness in 1894–96 and 1996. The 1996 data reveal a 15 times greater prevalence of admissions for all diagnoses, and three times greater prevalence of admissions by detention, compared with 1896. Patients now…

  • The impact of mood stabilizers on bipolar disorder

    Open AccessMargaret Harris, Summit Chandran et al.ARTICLEHistory of Psychiatry2005

    This study comparing patterns of service utilization by bipolar patients in North-West Wales found a greater prevalence of service utilization in the 1990s compared with the 1890s. In the pre-lithium era, admissions for bipolar disorders occurred at a rate of 4 every 10 years; they now occur at a rate of 6.3 every 10 years. Where 100 years ago, there were 16 bipolar patients per million population resident per day in hospital, there are now 24 pe…

    Open AccessDavid HealyARTICLESocial Studies of Science2004Citada por: 31Referências: 4

    Before 1980, most people experiencing common nervous problems and who sought medical help complained of anxiety and were treated for anxiety. Similar experiences increasingly led to complaints of or treatment for panic attacks in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and to complaints of or treatment for mood disorders by the mid-1990s. Today, such patients seem once again increasingly likely to complain of and be treated for anxiety. This paper review…

  • Haiti, Marines, and Culture

    David F Healy, David HealyARTICLEDiplomatic History2003

    Practitioners of U.S. diplomatic history have not been quick to welcome postmodernism onto their turf, even as it has flourished in other fields of study. As a group, we have tended to find postmodern language obscure and its logic difficult. Its influence has nevertheless penetrated our space in related forms, such as gender and cultural studies: witness Kristin L. Hoganson’s Fighting for American Manhood: How Gender Politics Provoked the Spanis…

  • The Creation of Psychopharmacology

    David Healy, David B HealyBOOKCreation of Psychopharmacology2002

    David Healy follows his widely praised study, The Antidepressant Era , with an even more ambitious and dramatic story: the discovery and development of antipsychotic medication. Healy argues that the discovery of chlorpromazine (more generally known as Thorazine) is as significant in the history of medicine as the discovery of penicillin, reminding readers of the worldwide prevalence of insanity within living memory. But Healy tells not of the tr…

    When Listening to Prozac emerged in 1993, it was one of the few books dealing with psychiatry to become an international best-seller since Freud's and Jung's works and the only book on psychopharmacology ever to do so. The book dealt with the effects of an antidepressant on conditions that often looked more like states of than classic depressions. For many, this was their first awareness that antidepressants were drugs distinguishable from minor …
