Lithium

Lithium is a medication primarily used to treat bipolar disorder, a mental health condition characterized by episodes of mania and depression. It is considered a mood stabilizer and is also used to prevent recurrent episodes of mania or depression in individuals with bipolar disorder. The exact mechanism of action of lithium in managing bipolar disorder is not fully understood. However, it is thought to affect certain neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which play a role in mood regulation. .
