Lithium in suicide prevention -- short review

Posted by undopaminergic on January 31, 2023, at 10:52:44

Hi all,

I'm mentioning this article because anti-suicidal effects of lithium is a current topic and I just read it myself. There is otherwise little or nothing novel in it, but it may perhaps serve as a brief introduction for the novice.

The statistics are interesting, and can be found in the first section of the article, after the abstract. For example: "the ratio of attempts to completed suicides among patients with bipolar disorder is 3 to 1, compared with 30 to 1 among the general population".
