I too understand that lithium can be helpful when it comes to reducing the risk of suicide, and given this, I can see your doctor's logic in prescribing lithium to you. Of course, lithium and other medications (psychiatric and otherwise) are not without risk, and I think it's important that you gather as much reputable information about the risks of the medications that you're taking as possible to keep yourself as informed as you can be. But I think that you did the right thing in telling your spouse and your doctor about the nature of the thoughts that you were having so that something could be done to help lift your mood and to change the direction in which your thoughts seemed to be headed. I hope that the treatment regimen that you're following will work out well for you, and I wish you the best of luck.

Friends,
Be not deceived. The poster writes,[...there is clear evidence from scientific sources that psychiatric drugs can be beneficial for many that are drugged with them...].
At what price? Addiction? Life-ruining conditions? Death?
You see, the poster cites no reputable source to substantiate the claim. In fact, 1000s of people are killed by these drug each month. And look at those killed here. And look at those here in a living death, waiting to die and wanting to kill themselves. Are they benefited?
You see, there could be an initial benefit from these drugs due to the placebo effect. And if you send 1000 swimmers across an alligator infested river, some will make it to the other side. And if they try to swim back, they might not be so lucky.
The danger here is that you could be influenced to take these drugs on the account of what the poster wrote. But what really did the poster say? What the poster did say is that he/she is not a fan of psychiatric drugs, nor did the poster stipulate what the benefit is. Do you not see the deception here? Make the poster post his/her substantiation of the claim. Then I will shoot it down with the real research and the argument from the poster will fall apart so quick that you may wonder why this site allows the claim to be made.
