What is "lithium"?
Lithium is a medication mainly prescribed for treating bipolar disorder, a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings between extreme highs and extreme lows. It works by changing brain chemicals that control one's mood, helping to reduce the intensity of mood swings. Typically given in tablet or capsule form, lithium requires regular monitoring of blood levels to ensure its effectiveness and safety. While its main use is for bipolar disorder, lithium may also be used in treating certain types of depression and as a supporting medicine for schizophrenia.
