Would lithium be enough to treat my bipolar disorder?

Quite possibly: Lithium is among the most effective treatments for bipolar disorder. It can treat and prevent mania. It can treat and prevent depression. It is one of the the few drugs that has been repeatedly shown to reduce suicide risk. It is often sufficient, by itself, to treat bipolar disorder.
