Reminds me of Brave New World, Soma pills.

Lithium is a natural occurring substance in some areas. Lithium was originally put out as a cardiac drug. But testing found out that as a cardiac drug it was not as effective as litmus for bi-polar disease. It can become toxic and if anyone is on it close monitoring of lith levels is important...Use to pass meds on the psych unit from time to time and blood/lith levels were closely monitored and were done at least once a week for those on lithium for manic-depression. I am trying to remember which parts of the US has natural lithium. I think it was Texas...low levels of suicide in those area's...and this is going back 20 years to when I worked in a hospital..
