schitsophrenia NMDA and lithium

Posted by linkadge on July 12, 2005, at 18:11:38

I read an article that suggested that schitsophrenia might be caused by low activity of NMDA. It suggested that ketamine and PCP were able to elicit psychosis because they were NMDA antagonists.
Why then, is lithium, an NMDA antagonist often used in schitsophrenia ?
