The laugh is on the professor, not you, nor the 4 who have given you "laugh" symbols.


Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Citrate [not lithium in its elemental form, a metal]:

Indications: Treatment and prophylaxis of mania, bipolar disorder; as anti-depressive medication.


It is highly toxic so used only under strict medical control.

The professor was right: lithium compounds are used for treating certain mental-health conditions.

Not a good idea to abuse professionals for knowing their subject...

@SkeetSkeet Then why did you mention that - although lithium compounds are used medicinally? What was he talking about?
