Introduction
Doctors who first noticed that the chemical element lithium caused mood stabilization were using it to treat gout. In 1949 an Australian psychiatrist, John Cade, was the first to publish a paper about using lithium to treat acute mania, but the FDA didn't approve the drug for use in bipolar disorder until 1970. Along the way it was found that lithium also has a positive effect on depression as well as mania and hypomania.
