I was curious if there was any correlation, inverse or other between people with Bi-polar disease treated with lithium and dementia. Seems like a good real world example that should prove out if lithium works as we know people with BD take it. Turns out there is a study that says there is. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31954065/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31954065/ "Conclusion: Individuals with BD are at higher risk of dementia than both the general population or those with MDD. Lithium appears to reduce the risk of developing dementia in BD." Overall people with Bi-Polar have a much higher rate of dementia but lithium treatment appears to reduce that. People treated with valproate instead (a mood stabilizer) do not enjoy the same benefit. So I'll commit to adding low dose lithium to my daily supplements
