A friend of mine has a son on lithium for years now. He has a genetic disease, mild cp, autism, seizures, and is aggressive and defiant at times. She said they love his being on this medication. But the only resources for info are on bi-polar sites, and there is one blog she likes and has lot of articles linked in it. She said that research shows that lithium actually can increase and heal the brain, including the hippocampus, which on MRI is very small for my son. This is part of the lymbic system and is a center for memory and regulates moods. Since there are many here with bi-polar I thought I'd share, they are really interesting. I am sure most of you have already checked out stuff like this but it is new to me.
