Unfortunately, the link for the relevant bibliography entry in this Wikipedia submission does not work. It wouldn't surprise me if lithium were to produce measurable deficits in cognitive function. The question is to what degree is it noticeable and irreversible. After all, depression produces deficits that are debilitating and, according to some, irreversible if left untreated. I guess it is a matter of degree.
