Your welcome. Yeah just google lithium neurogenesis or lithium neuroprotection or lithium brain health and you will find all the information you need. Some people take a low dose of lithium orotate or lithium aspartate, the two forms they sell as supplements over the counter or on the internet, solely for the purpose of slowing down brain aging and promoting neurogenesis. Lithium also inhibits excess protein kinase C production. Excess protein kinase C is produced during stressful periods. Too much protein kinase C over a certain period of time will breakdown part of the structure of neurons in the prefrontal cortex called dendrites. Damaging the prefrontal cortex may affect your emotions and impulse control.
Lithium may not be for you, but spread the word, it's not the nasty drug people think it is. Anything given a high doses can be toxic. Too much vitamin A can damage the liver.
I'm guessing though that you may have a more pronounced antidepressant response to Rhodiola. You have to find the right brand of course. I would consider ordering it online if you can't find it where you live.
