Decreased risk of suicides and attempts during long-term lithium treatment: a meta-analytic review.

TL;DR: Risks of completed and attempted suicide were consistently lower, by approximately 80%, during treatment of bipolar and other major affective disorder patients with lithium for an average of 18 months, and these benefits were sustained in randomized as well as open clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

The International Society for bipolar Disorders (ISBD) task force report on antidepressant use in bipolar disorders

Journal ArticleDOI
