Low dose lithium is good for depression but you need roughly double the dose to treat manias or hypomanias. The exact dose is worked out by blood levels. And you need to monitor your thyroid and kidney function every 3 months or so. Lithium really helped both my depression and hypomanias but I put on weight with it.
Hope it works well for you.
