Lithium

Lithium salts, above all the carbonate, are mood stabilisers used in bipolar disorder: Australian psychiatrist John Cade described their effect on mania in 1949 in Melbourne, and they were approved in the United States in 1970. This family brings together the active ingredient, metabolites and other impurities.
