Low dose lithium 300-600mg has been well studied in children. It is sometimes used for childhood agression and/or childhood mood disorders, sometimes ADHD as well. The reason that I admire lithium so much is because it has a proven antisuicide effect. The antidepressants havn't really been proven conclusivly to prevent suicide or cause suicide but lithium and clozaril are some of the only medications that seem to be conclusivly preventitive of suicide.
