Uses and Side Effects of
Lithium
Lithium is used to treat the manic stage of bipolar disorder
(manic-depressive illness).
Manic-depressive patients experience severe mood changes, ranging
from an excited
or manic state (for example, unusual anger or irritability or a
false sense of well-being)
to depression or sadness. Lithium is used to reduce the frequency
and severity of
manic states. Lithium may also reduce the frequency and severity
of depression in
bipolar disorder. Once a medicine has been approved for marketing
for a certain use,
experience may show that it is also useful for other medical
problems.
Although these uses are not included in product labeling, lithium
is used in certain
patients with the following medical conditions:
Cluster headaches
Mental depression
Neutropenia (a blood condition)

recommended for use during pregnancy, especially during the
first 3 months. Lithium passes into the breast milk. It has been
