Lithium is an established mood stabilizer primarily used in bipolar disorders. It modulates intracellular signaling pathways and affects various neurotransmitter systems. Due to its narrow therapeutic window, careful monitoring is necessary. Side effects may affect kidney and thyroid function. Lithium also exhibits neuroprotective properties.
