Affective disorders in mentally retarded adolescents--report of two cases with lithium treatment
Jpn J Psychiatry Neurol.
1986 Dec.
Abstract
Two cases of moderately retarded adolescents with affective disorders have been treated for nine and five years, respectively. Rapid cycling episodes were seen in early adolescence and a long duration of episodes appeared in late adolescence. A two-year lithium therapy was able to control them fairly well but did not work as a prophylaxis. Lithium carbonate induced polydipsia or personality change.
