That's a tough one for a mother to bear. I have a son with a similar problem.. Just want to say that Lithium is a natural substance found within the human body. I'm not a psychiatrist but do have a degree in Psychology and from what I learned about body chemical imbalances there probably won't be a perfect natural substance to fix this problem. Lots of things in the alternate medical world may be helpful but not a complete fix. Have you talked to his psychiatrist/doctor and gained an understanding of the uses of Lithium? Lots on the internet on the subject of Lithium. Google or PubMed searching can broaden your understanding of Bipolar condition and also Lithium which is one of the ways to treat.
My very best wishes ann [email protected] Hi, Folks, Just wondering if anyone has any input on Bipolar mental illness, and the use of lithium for same? My middle son has been recently diagnosed with it, and just started on lithium.He feels a lot better, he says. Thoughts?? Any better alternative treatments? Marshalee
