Bipolar disorder
Takeaway
In most depressive disorders, there is only one extreme mood: depression. However, people with bipolar disorder also experience a second extreme mood, called mania. Episodes of mania can be just as disruptive to your life as depression can be. To treat bipolar, it’s equally important that you treat depression and mania.
Lithium is one of the oldest and most successful drugs used to treat the mania and depressive symptoms of bipolar disorder.
What is lithium?
Lithium is a mood stabilizer. It comes in an extended-release tablet, immediate-release tablet, capsule, and an oral solution. It’s also fairly inexpensive because it’s available as a generic drug.
