Hi Ronaldo
>0.8 mMol/litre
0.6-0.8 is commonly thought to be appropriate in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder. Lower levels eg. 0.4 are sometimes adequate when lithium is used to 'augment' an antidepressant in the treatment of unipolar depression ie. when lithium is not being used an an anti-manic.
