Lithium is primarily used as a mood stabilizer in the treatment of Bipolar disorder and can help reduce symptoms of mania and depression. While it is generally considered safe, some individuals may experience side effects, including cognitive changes or mood disturbances. In rare cases, high levels of lithium in the body can lead to symptoms such as confusion or paranoia. It's essential for patients on lithium to have regular monitoring and communicate any concerning symptoms to their healthcare provider.
