Lithium-laced drinking water could curb suicide rates, scientists say

For communities with a low rate of depression and suicide, there may be something in the water, according to a new study.

A comprehensive analysis of findings from previous studies has revealed that regions where the public drinking water contains a high level of naturally occurring lithium — a mineral used most often for the treatment of depression and bipolar disorder — also boast a lower rate of suicide than other areas. The review included all prior research on the effects of lithium, as well as regional water samples and suicide data from 1,286 locales in Austria, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, the UK, Japan and the United States.

Lithium - wasn't that in the old 7Up that was banned?

Cocaine would also work - wait, that's the old Coca-Cola that was also banned.

He was kidding (see smiley at end of my post). Point was our society is going nuts. He was, however, a believer in better living through modern chemistry😎

Absolutely ridiculous. Medication doesn’t change the condition that is leading to depression. Depression is not a chemical imbalance, as some incompetents say.

SOMA from Brave New World.

I prefer bourbon in my bourbon.
Waterfill & Frazier 12 year old, bottled in bond, 110 proof. Smooth as can be. It ain’t been made in decades. Bought two cases in ‘89, still have a few bottles left.

Buy the Crazy Water sold in Sweetwater, Texas.

Note: it tastes horrible, but it is high in lithium.
