Prescribing Joy: Why Public Health Must Treat Fun as Medicine

Can Doctors Prescribe Fun? The Joy Revolution! explores AI-enabled social prescribing: can doctors actually write “prescriptions” for art, movement, community, or creativity? In Rukiya’s playful, science-meets-smiles voice we unpack research and stats—from NHS social prescribing pilots to studies linking arts engagement with reduced depression and fewer GP. Learn how AI can match people to creative interventions, the public-health logic behind joy-as-medicine, and what earlier trials reveal about wellbeing gains.
