A member asked:
Type 2 diabetic and have severe depression. can i be on lithium alone or will an anti-depressant be needed also?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely : The lithium usually works more on the other end of the spectrum in bipolar--to prevent manic symptoms. It is often used in combination with antidepressant therapy.
