There have been studies linking naturally high lithium levels in groundwater to lower suicide rates. It stabilizes moods for anyone not just those with a bipolar diagnosis. For me it’s most noticeable in regulating anger/rage outbursts. Studies also indicate that it’s neuroprotective - reducing risk or severity of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s.
