Lithium Quotes

• It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car.

• Lithium tweaks many mood-altering chemicals in the brain, and its effects are complicated. Most interesting, lithium seems to reset the body’s circadian rhythm, its inner clock. In normal people, ambient conditions, especially the sun, dictate their humors and determine when they are tuckered out for the day. They’re on a twenty-four-hour cycle. Bipolar people run on cycles independent of the sun. And run and run.

• But then back on lithium and rotating on the planet at the same pace as everyone else, you find your credit is decimated, your mortification complete: mania is not a luxury one can easily afford. It is devastating to have the illness and aggravating to have to pay for medications, blood tests, and psychotherapy. They, at least, are partially deductible. But money spent while manic doesn't fit into the Internal Revenue Service concept of medical expense or business loss. So after mania, when most depressed, you're given excellent reason to be even more so.

• Those organisations, al-Qaeda being the first one, have all settled in areas full of mining and oil resources or in geostrategic zones. They settled in Afghanistan which underground is filled with oil and lithium. North Mali is filled with mining resources (uranium). It is essential to question the impact and role of some international players that create or let those organisations settle there.

• I start to get the feeling that something is really wrong. Like all the drugs put together – the lithium, the Prozac, the desipramine, and Desyrel that I take to sleep at night – can no longer combat whatever it is that was wrong with me in the first place. I feel like a defective model.

• El vertido de enfermos mentales, llenos de estos nuevos fármacos psiquiátricos, en las calles es un escándalo. Se ha llevado más lejos en New York, donde secciones enteras del decadente Upper West Side se están llenando de pensionistas y pacientes psicóticos que toman estelazina, carbonato de litio y todo lo demás bajo el sol. No pueden diagnosticar al paciente, así que le dan toda la farmacopea psiquiátrica de una vez, y se pasea en un trance psicótico bellamente pintado por todas partes con productos petroquímicos.

• A menudo me he preguntado si, pudiendo elegir, elegiría tener una enfermedad maníaco-depresiva. Si el litio no estuviera a mi disposición, o no me funcionara, la respuesta sería un simple no... y sería una respuesta cargada de terror. Pero el litio me funciona, y por tanto puedo permitirme plantear la pregunta. Por extraño que parezca, creo que elegiría tenerlo. Es complicado.
