General Overview of Lithium Toxicity and It's History

Jackson (2006) reports that Lithium is a soft metallic element with an atomic number of 3 and an atomic weight of 6.941. While the metal is used in a wide range of industries, Jackson states that the public mostly knows about its salt, lithium carbonate, which is regularly used in psychiatric pharmacotherapy.

Today, Garrett (2004) reports, Lithium salt is primarily used to treat bipolar disorder, once called "mania." It was first used as a treatment for mania in 1948 by an Australian psychiatrist, John F. Cade, although some work in this regard had already been done in 1890 by physicians Robert B. Cloud, Christopher Columbus Garrett, and W.H. Whitehead. It was further developed for treatment in Denmark by Mogens Schou. However, it was not until twenty years after its initial discovery that it became FDA approved in America as a standard and effective medication for bipolar disorder as well as genetically related forms of depression.
