Pharmaceutical Grade Lithium Carbonate
Lithium carbonate, also known as lithium salt, is the most widely used mood stabilizer in psychiatry. In contrast to tricyclic anti-depressants, lithium can significantly inhibit the release of norepinephrine and dopamine in the central nervous system and increase the re-uptake of neurons to exert an anti-manic effect. In the psychiatric department, lithium carbonate is used as a mood stabilizer for the treatment of mania and is regarded as a specific drug for bipolar disorder, as well as for the prevention of mania and depression. In addition, lithium carbonate is also used in the treatment of schizoaffective psychosis, schizophrenia, epilepsy caused by mental disorders, and used to control the excitement of the patient's impulsive aggressive behaviour.
