Description: Lithium is prescribed as a mood stabilizer to individuals with manic-depressive disorders or depression who do not respond well to other medications. Lithium is used to treat manic-depressive disorders, like bipolar disorder, and the manic phase of affective disorders, including mania. 
The lithium test is used to measure and monitor the amount of lithium in the blood so health care providers can determine whether drug concentrations are within a therapeutic range.
