Question

i heard of an otc lithium supplement...know anything about that one? they say it works without all the unwanted side effects of rx lithium...

Answer 1

Well, what exactly is your definition of a "natural" treatment? There's nothing un-natural about drugs like Seroquel, Lexapro or Lithium and they will be exponentionly more effective than something like St. John's Wort or Omega fatty acids. If these latter two fit your definition of a "natural supplement," then I will assume that you define natural treatments as ones that neither require a prescription from a qualified doctor or work very well.

Answer 2

Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids may also be used as a treatment for bipolar disorder, particularly as a supplement to medication. An initial clinical trial by Stoll et. al. produced positive results . However, since 1999 attempts to confirm this finding of beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids in several larger double-blind clinical trials have produced inconclusive results. It was hypothesized that the therapeutic ingredient in omega-3 fatty acid preparations is eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and that supplements should be high in this compound to be beneficial. Omega-3 fatty acids may be found in fish, fish oils, algae, and to a lesser degree in other foods such as flaxseed, flaxseed oil and walnuts. Some researchers have found that only omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish products shows efficacy, whereas omega-3 fatty acids derived flaxseed oil or supplements are ineffecrtive.
