Recent studies have indicated that long-term lithium treatment reduces the expected suicidal activity and overall mortality of patients with affective disorders. Based on the data from the lithium clinics in Berlin and Hamilton (n = 512), a minimum length of two years of continued lithium treatment is needed to reduce the high mortality resulting from affective disorders.
近期研究表明，长期锂盐治疗可降低情感障碍患者预期的自杀行为及总体死亡率。基于柏林和汉密尔顿锂盐治疗诊所的数据（n = 512），持续锂盐治疗至少两年才能降低情感障碍所致的高死亡率。
