In Europe they give it to elderly people but in very small dozes...
It is also said to be preventive for Alzheimer...so far so good.

Yes, I have also read about research on Alzheimer's prevention. In light of that it actually would have been a good medication for the elderly - what a shame that for other reasons it cannot be given or can but in very small quantities. Speaking of very small quantities, lithium naturally occurring in small quantities in municipal waters prevents suicide in communities that use those waters for drinking - the communities have lower suicide rates than population-wide.
