, in older adults (aged ≥55 years) with BD, from 2010 to 2019. This naturalistic, retrospective cohort study included 166 older adults (mean age 67.4 years) treated with lithium. Medical files from a large mental healthcare provider in the Netherlands were used to construct Lifecharts. The average proportion of time that different classes of comedications were prescribed during follow-up was calculated

Patients exhibiting hypercortisolism were characterized by younger age and female gender, whereas patients exhibiting hypocortisolism were characterized by long disease duration without prophylactic lithium treatment as well as absence of current lithium medication.

Exposure to Lithium and Cesium Through Drinking Water and Thyroid Function During Pregnancy: A Prospective Cohort Study. Impaired thyroid function is a common side effect of lithium medication. Recent data indicate that lithium exposure through drinking water, although providing much lower doses than the medication, may also affect thyroid hormone levels. However, the effects in susceptible

not unidirectionally, if these stimuli were presented mixed with clear stimuli in randomized order. This finding of a lithium-induced increased variance of total performance, implying recognition and resolution of complex stimuli, was confirmed by a replication study in 6 patients having participated in the main study and being reexamined under continuous lithium medication without a placebo period. It is concluded

Changes in learning, memory, and mood during lithium treatment. Approach to a research strategy. In a double-blind study the effects of a 14-day lithium medication (dosage: 24 mval/day to 36 mval/day) were investigated. The subjects were 24 healthy male volunteers. The effect of lithium on their mood, ability to learn nouns, and memory of the words learnt was measured after 2 hours and 14 days

[Effects of lithium on learning, memory, and mood (author's transl)]. In a double-blind study the effects of a 14-day lithium medication (dosage: 24 mval/d to 36 mval/d) were investigated. The subjects were 24 healthy male volunteers. The effect of lithium on their mood, ability to learn nouns, and memory of the words learnt was measured after 2 h and 14 days. In spite of a relatively low mean

[Effects of lithium on normal psychic functions as a restriction on prophylactic use]. Within the context of psychological research on the mechanism of lithium prophylaxis mainly three questions are to be raised and hopefully answered: a) Can psychic effects of lithium be demonstrated during the free interval of manic-depressive patients under long-term lithium medication? b) Supposed

-documented presynaptic 5-HT-agonistic action lithium medication resulted in a significantly greater increase in CORT release than carbamazepine (P < 0.05). Evaluation of PRL stimulation showed patterns of secretion quite similar to those of CORT, without reaching statistical significance in most cases. Perhaps due to methodological differences in assessing treatment response, these data do not confirm

. However, lithium medication may worsen depressive symptoms when used for a long term maintenance therapy. Additionally, mixed mania, rapid cycling type patients and bipolar disorder associated with substance abuse do not respond well to lithium therapy. In addition to the lithium therapy or in place of a lithium therapy, one can report the frequent use of antipsychotic agents in respect of patients

Only reports of double-blind, randomized, controlled trials were included. Twenty eight double-blind, randomized, controlled trials were identified which

with radioactive iodine showed abnormal findings in iodine metabolism. Discontinuance of lithium led to disappearance of goitres, while thyroid metabolism returned to normal. Thyroxine or desiccated thyroid produced shrinkage of the gland in spite of continued lithium medication.
