EXT 11 Lithium

Lithium

Lithium is a chemical element that is used in medicine in the form of salts, especially as lithium carbonate. It has a mood-stabilizing effect and is mainly used in the treatment of bipolar disorders. Lithium is effective both in the acute phase of manic-depressive psychosis and as a preventative measure to prevent new episodes.
Lithium is not only used for bipolar disorder, but also for a number of other medical conditions. Here are some other symptoms and conditions that lithium can help with:
– Treatment of certain acute depression: Lithium can be used for depression that does not respond to conventional antidepressants or when there is an intolerance to these medications.
– Cluster headaches: Lithium can be used to treat episodic or chronic cluster headaches, also known as Bing-Horton syndrome.
– Schizoaffective disorders: In patients with schizoaffective disorder, lithium may help stabilize mood.
– Treatment refractory major depression: When major depression does not respond to other treatments, lithium may be an option.
– Dementia: Studies suggest that patients with depression or bipolar disorder who are treated with lithium are less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This is particularly noteworthy as these patients are actually at increased risk of such conditions.
– Parkinson’s disease: Lithium could potentially be investigated as a disease-modifying therapy for Parkinson’s disease. It targets certain enzymes involved in the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease and could help slow neurodegeneration.
