That's what it's for. However, it only works to the benefit of people who need it. Using it when it is not indicated can cause psychosis. It is not a recreational drug. Even though lithium is classed as a "psychotropic" or mind-altering drug it does not have any obvious or noticeable psychotropic effects on the person ingesting it. It doesn't make the person feel high or low or any different at all. However, over time, it does stabilize moods and this can be helpful in bipolar disorders.
