Lithium

Lithium is an alkali-metal monovalent cation typically administered as carbonate or citrate salts. Classified as both a mood stabilizer and antidepressant, it is primarily used in the management of mood disorders. Unlike most psychiatric medications, which are complex organic compounds, lithium is a simple elemental ion, making it pharmacologically unique within its therapeutic class.
