Maintenance treatment by lithium decreases mania and manic behaviors and control the mood fluctuations frequency. GI absorption of lithium is very fast and distributes across all body water. Lithium half-life is 20 hours and after it will excrete from kidneys. We must control plasma level of lithium in short period of time plasma therapeutics concentration is 0.6±1.4 meg/lit. Physicians should consider that diuretics can increase the lithium plasma level, in order to decrease body water.
