Dear Mike, (and everybody else, who is interested in)!
Lithium is a very old method and it doesn't seem to bee the best
treatment, by the way.
Instead of this, you should try a pill which treats the serotonin-
recipients in your brain. For example "Gladem" or "Prozac".
Please talk about that with a psycho-therapist first.
I hope these informations are helpful for you.
