New applications of lithium therapy

J B Murray. J Psychol. 1990 Jan.

Abstract

Several placebo-controlled double-blind studies have indicated that lithium sometimes augments antidepressants, converting nonresponding patients to responders. Lithium therapy has also benefitted some schizoaffective patients and some alcoholics. Side effects are minimal. Mechanisms involved in lithium's effectiveness have not yet been discovered.
