Lithium is an element, and it is used in batteries for cameras and other heavy-duty applications. I assume you are thinking of Lithium Carbonate which has various Psychiatric applications. As far as I know it is used medicinally. It's not addictive nor does it cause hallucinations or dependency. It is fairly safe, if taken as directed. ADDED: Re: Lithium's application in Psycho-Pharma. I disagree with the original answer. It is an extremely effective medication in the treatment of Bi-Polar Disorder, however, it's use must be stringently monitored by frequent lab work since the effective dosage is VERY close to the dangerous dosage. Overdose of Lithium can result in very nasty complications, up to, and including, death.

∙ 14y agoIf the dosage is too high, perhaps, but the lithium springs on the island of Bimini are believed by some to have curative properties and slow down the aging process. I think they may have spawned the legend of the Fountain of Youth that Ponce de Leon was searching for when he discovered Florida.

Where do Hydrological hazards happen most?
it can happen any where in china
What element has the highest specific heat of any solid element?
Lithium
Can a person become immune to lithium?
No. There is no ability of the human body to develop any known tolerance to the lithium bases (Lithium Citrate, Lithium Carbonate, etc). The drug, in fact, operates so close to the toxic threshold that any such tolerance might quickly prove fatal. A failure, over time, of lithium salts to treat a disorder has more to do with patient neuro-chemistry that favors an alternate drug (preferably an anti-convulsant such as Carbamazepine), or perhaps misdiagnosis, than anything else.
What hazards are known to the element neon?
