WOW! Wonder Drug Treats Skin Condition...and Depression
Those of you who know your psych meds history will recall that Lithium's anti-manic properties were discovered by accident in the 1940s when an Australian doctor using the element in heart patients figured out that he had some very calm patients on his wards. Now, it appears that a drug being tested for psoriasis positively affects depression. I'm sure this isn't a breakthrough drug like Lithium was in its day, but who knows. Stranger shit has happened.
