What is an example of lithium?
Most people have heard the word Lithium to describe a medication, primarily for the treatment of the manic phases of Bi-Polar Disorder. Chemically, Lithium is actually a metal; shiny, powdery and very lightweight. It's used in the manufacturing of ceramics and glass, and has many other uses. The compound used for treating Bi-Polar Disorder is actually Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3). It's prescribed to help lessen the severity of manic phases associated with Bi-Polar Disorder, is often referred to as a mood stabilizer, and is usually prescribed for long-term control of manic symptoms. The dosage of Lithium carbonate varies from person to person and the level of Lithium carbonate in the blood must be carefully monitored. Blood tests are taken at least every two months, more frequently if the patient shows an abnormal sensitivity to the medication. The reason for monitoring the blood levels is because an effective dose is, usually, close to a toxic dose. In other words, taking just enough is often very close to taking too much. Lithium carbonate is a very effective mood stabilizer. There are, however, many others on the market that are quite effective and don't demand such rigorous monitoring.
