One of my doctors is trained in naturopathy. In her psych office she prescribes small amounts of lithium very frequently. We're not talking the usual therapeutic doses. Things like 25mg to 300mg. That dose range seems to be helpful for a wide range of psych problems regardless of whatever other meds or chronic illnesses are happening. Without going into the complicated genetic stuff she was talking about, it also helps to bridge some of the roadblocks, snippets, and morphs in genetic flaws. Lithium in small amounts is neuro-helpful, protective, and healing. All this in addition to whatever benefits you happen to feel when taking it.
I'm not a fan at all of lamictal. It seldom seems to lead to any of kind of lasting benefit, not even in clinical trials, and has none of the benefits of the natural salt of the earth lithium. It certainly has a place in the arena of seizure disorders though, for which it is intended.
