Lithium is the best established of all the medications to treat manic depression (bipolar disorder). Drs. Bohn and Jefferson give a thorough, up-to-date description of how lithium is used and answer the questions patients and their families often ask. They are practicing clinicians who are familiar with the latest research findings, as well as with how lithium has affected their patients and what those patients most wanted to know. This booklet, first published in 1982, has been revised ten times, most recently in 1996. Over 425,000 copies have been distributed.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
I have used this guide as resource material for several of my clients. It is straight forward, comprehensive and easy to read. -- A registered mental healthcare nurse, Texas, 1989
I was recently made aware of this information booklet about lithium and manic depression by a physician who I recently visited. The booklet is the most concise and informative document that I have read thus far relating to lithium and manic depression. I have been taking lithium for seventeen years, and needless to say, I have at times had a lot of apprehension about side effects, toxicity, etc. I have spent a great deal of time in libraries trying to get information about lithium and it is very sparse. -- A patient, Arizona, 1990

From the Publisher
One in a series of concise, easy-to-understand, up-to-date booklets on major mental illnesses and their treatments. There is a lot of information circulating, and it is difficult to separate the useful from the trivial. A team of results-oriented clinicians wrote each of the guides. They draw on their own research findings and their own experiences working with patients and sort through studies done by other clinicians to present information on the latest, most efficient, effective treatments known. There is background information on each illness, often some self-help suggestions, and always the answers to commonly asked questions. Whether you need the information for yourself, a family member, a friend, a colleague, or a patient, one of these guides will prove invaluable.
