Abstract
Lithium is the only true mood stabiliser as it is able to both treat and prevent mania and depression. In practice, its popularity has declined despite discovering it has anti-suicidal and neuroprotective properties. Here, we argue for recognition of its benefits and advocate for its clinical use more widely.
