As I wrote in another comment, many health food stores carry 'trace mineral drops', which are (de-salted) concentrate from the Great Salt Lake. It contains trace amounts of lithium (as well as other 'trace' minerals like magnesium, chloride and sulfate). I know of at least a few cases where they have been prescribed for (and cured) involuntary spasms when trying to sleep after a hard exercise (horse riding), the effect in this case is from the magnesium.
You can also buy straight up lithium tablets which contain a slightly higher dose (5mg) than the recommended dosage of the drops (2-3mg).
The NYT article referenced in the OP and in other comments references 'evidence' in the form of studies of communities with naturally occuring high-lithium drinking water (lower rates of violence in general).
