  • Lithium for Bipolar Disorder: Understanding Treatment & Effects
    The alkali metal used to treat manic depression (now more commonly known as bipolar disorder) is lithium.

    Lithium is a mood stabilizer, meaning it helps to even out the highs and lows of bipolar disorder. It is thought to work by affecting the balance of certain chemicals in the brain.

    It's important to note that lithium is a prescription medication and should only be used under the supervision of a doctor.
