Lithium in unipolar depression
2014, Annales Medico-PsychologiquesLong-term naturalistic follow-up of lithium augmentation: Relevance to bipolarity
2011, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :However, Adli et al. (2009) described a negative result in their long-term follow-up study of lithium augmentation. Prior long-term follow-up studies of lithium augmentation did not examine bipolar conversion in lithium responders (Adli et al., 2009; Nierenberg et al., 1990; Shergill et al., 1999). Two reports described a few converters from unipolar to bipolar—3.8–4.3% of the total samples; another report made no mention of this conversion.
