Abstract

Several placebo-controlled double-blind studies have indicated that lithium sometimes augments antidepressants, converting nonresponding patients to responders. Lithium therapy has also benefitted some schizoaffective patients and some alcoholics. Side effects are minimal. Mechanisms involved in lithium's effectiveness have not yet been discovered.

摘要

几项安慰剂对照双盲研究表明，锂盐有时可增强抗抑郁药的疗效，使无反应的患者转变为有反应者。锂盐治疗对一些分裂情感性障碍患者和一些酗酒者也有益处。副作用极小。锂盐有效性所涉及的机制尚未被发现。
