[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 572904, member: 8831"] i actually think its the other way around...for whatever reason, lithium helps regardless of the diagnosis, so there needs to be a diagnosis in place that s[I]upports [/I]the use of it---hence the not otherwise specified. it would be hard to justfiy the use of lithium in say, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)....it would lean toward an inappropriate off label use. it can be used when the symptoms dont "quite" fit critera. its often done for insurance reasons. and maybe more importantly, the cya reason. :-) time will tell what the final labels are....but for now, if its working....well, you know.
