N2  - In major depressive disorder, lithium can be used as augmentation in antidepressant non-responders, as second-line long-term therapy for the prevention of new depressive episodes, and for the prevention of suicide. Lithium use requires individualized dosages to achieve therapeutic lithium concentrations, regular monitoring of serum concentrations and patient education. © 2014, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
