Lithium is kind of a toxic or dangerous thing to use, sorry. It's normally used for mania and bipolar. Sorry, but depression is unrelated to those things, in actuality.

It doesn't sound like a good idea, and it's just another potentially toxic element to be added to water. Fluoride is toxic enough overtime - we don't need this too. We need better mental health funding and community programs. I mean, they don't even fully comprehend how lithium actually affects the body, and how it achieves some of its effects. That lack of research, to me, means if shouldn't be added in to something as vital as drinking water. It's hardly prescribed for depression.

Have you personally made any tests, are you a doctor/scientist or how do you think is not a good idea?
