Scientists Say Lithium Should Be Added to Drinking Water to Prevent Suicides

Part funded by King’s College London, the study is a meta-analysis of three decades of research in Austria, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, UK, Japan and USA.

It concludes that lithium’s “protective” abilities could be further tested by “randomised community trials of lithium supplementation of the water supply” in communities with high prevalence of mental health conditions and risk of suicide.

Deliberately lacing the water supply with a mind-altering chemical in some zones might seem like something out of a science fiction novel [duh], but the authors of the report...think it’s an idea worth experimenting.

You cannot blame scientists for thinking outside the box on suicide prevention [The hell I can'tOur mental health has been deteriorating over lockdown. Current figures show there are around 800,000 suicides a year. It is the second leading cause of death among 15 to 29 year olds globally. Unfortunately, the evidence shows that the isolation and economic stress caused by COVID-19 may well exacerbate this trend and lead to rise in suicides.

“In these unprecedented times of COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent increase in the incidence of mental health conditions, accessing ways to improve community mental health and reduce the incidence of anxiety, depression and suicide is ever more important,” said Prof Memon.

Scientists are not certain exactly how this naturally occurring silver-white, metallic element, found in soil, seawater and rocks and therefore vegetables, grains and water supplies, alters human mood....

But since it was discovered in 1949 by Australian psychiatrist John Cade to be effective in treating mania, it has become a recognised medication for the treatment and prevention of bipolar disorder, for stabilising mood and in reducing the risk of suicide in people with mood disorders. In some studies, it has been shown to help reduce aggression and the onset of dementia.

Yeah but it is just a muscle relaxant.

Does not make you happy unless you mean happy that your back is no longer spasming.

But other than those side effects, it's fine and dandy!        :-)

I’m prescribed Flexoril for my bulging disks and scoliosis....but no way could I take that stuff every day. Would be in a constant “funk”.

[Chickensoup]

Those symptoms would be when taking hundreds of mg.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If you take it every day it loses it's effectiveness.

A script for 30 pills lasts about a year around here.

I remember reading years (decades?) ago that El Paso had a much lower rate of BiPolar than other cities because of the high litium levels in the water. So they aren’t exactly working off of new findings.

[Salman]

Why not Thorazine? Much more effective.

[familyop]

Imagine such a supply in the water in cities for years, then the supply being suddenly stopped. Zombies!

Same here. Only take it if I absolutely have to. Other than that.....Mobic. Or nip in for a steroid shot if it’s REALLY bad.

“To whom is Lithium usually prescribed?”

When I quit drinking, my Dr. prescribed it to me to stop the shaking (I think that’s what it was for). After one, I threw it out.

[SuperLuminal]

Won’t that be a critical problem for those using the stargate system?...

[SkyDancer]

How about chewing on those lithium batteries?

[hinckley buzzard]

LiCO3 is a recognized medication for mood disorders. Adding it to the water supply is a real stretch however. And the level at which it becomes toxic is not that high compared to the therapeutic level. Lithium patients need to have their blood levels monitored for this reason. I think this sh*t won’t fly.

Also beware:

[DeplorablePaul]

It wasn’t bad enough that they polluted our vital bodily fluids with fluoride and dried up our sperm count?

[BenLurkin]

It bothers me that someone would even suggest this kind of thing.

[taterjay]

I had a guy tell me the vapor trails were being filled with lithium by the government to make us docile. I said it was not working.
