lithium
n. A very light malleable silvery alkali metal. In the form of lithium carbonate it is used as a mood stabilizer for persons with bipolar disorder. Use of lithium as a mood stabilizer is dangerous as the fatal dose is only two or three times the therapeutic dose, and so close monitoring of blood levels of lithium is necessary in its clinical use.
