A number of chemical salts of lithium are used medically as a mood stabilizing drug, primarily in the treatment of bipolar disorder, where they have a role in the treatment of depression and particularly of mania, both acutely and in the long term. Lithium helps to even the highs and lows of mood associated with this disorder.

Not everyone responds the same to a drug. Some people has a negavite response while taking this medication. To some persons it can cause depression.
