I have been taking Lithium supplements to help with my moods since March of 2015. It seems to help me a little. All of my life I have lived with symptoms similar to bipolar and autism, but never had a doctor tell me that had mental issues. When I stopped taking the supplement for a month, I got depressed again. My mom was bipolar and had schizophrenia. As I get older, my moods seem to get worse especially when my workload increases. For six months after my mother had passed away, I was so depressed that I was not hungry. I finally went to a counselor.
