The participants who received lithium experienced a steady improvement in their overall mood, suggesting that lithium may help stabilize mood and reduce emotional fluctuations. This effect was noticeable in all aspects of mood, including happiness, friendliness, and energy levels.

This study provides a glimpse of hope for individuals struggling with mood disorders, particularly those who have been impacted by addiction. Lithium, like a beacon in the desert, may offer a path to greater emotional stability and a more balanced mental state.
