Jaw dropping article about actual research re the manner in which lithium is public water supply appears to reduce suicide rates by 4 - 15 percent.
This slithering suggestion that putting lithium in the water supply could be good for us is framed thusly: "lithium's capacity to instill mass mental resilience"
Resilience? Is that what we call chemically pacified people?

A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual, and certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard core commie works.

Another liberal idea on how to destroy quality of life for a sh!tload and appear to raise it for a couple or just a cover for the pacification thing? I vote no.

Besides doping the public it is dangerous to fetus's and
harmful to small children.
The administration of lithium during pregnancy causes
abnormalities of prenatal growth retardation, resorption
and still births, cleft palate, hydrocephaly and
hydronephrosis.

My mother took lithium for about 5 years. After having 4 children she was prone to mood swings. She was on a relatively low dose.
Her thyroid is shot and her kidney’s don’t work so well, both known side effects. Her levels were constantly tested, but even with that every so often her lithium level rose to toxic levels and it was like she was going into diabetic shock or coma. There is not much difference between the toxic/ therapeutic levels of lithium.

But now, lithium ... is being heralded as the next fluoride... It would be the next flouride, all right.
But hey, why waste time? Let's just pour Draino into the water supply and be done with it.

Resilience? Is that what we call chemically pacified people? Probably not. In therapeutic doses lithium has no psychotropic effects.

There are areas with high lithium levels in the water supply naturally.
but they won’t add it because it doesn’t work well except in those who are bipolar, who commit suicide on the “down” or depressed part of their cycle.
Lithium doesn’t really do much for normal folks or even for most cases of depression.
