Über diesen Titel
Lithium has a reputation — and most of it’s wrong. In this episode, we unpack the truth about one of the most effective, misunderstood, and underprescribed medications in psychiatry. From its powerful anti-suicidal properties to its long-term neuroprotective benefits, lithium isn’t just “that old-school drug” — it’s a life-saving treatment that too many clinicians avoid out of habit or fear.
We’ll dive into:
• Why lithium works (and how it actually builds brain resilience)
• The stigma around side effects and lab work — and why it’s often overblown
• New research on microdosing, dementia protection, and withdrawal support
• Why comparing lithium to chemotherapy might just make sense
• Real talk: why avoiding lithium due to inconvenience could be costing lives
With myth-busting, research, and raw clinical insight, we’re giving lithium the respect it deserves — and showing why it might be the most underrated tool in your psychiatric toolbox.
