          Higher Lithium Levels in Drinking Water May Raise Autism Risk

          Women who drink tap water containing higher levels of lithium are at higher risk of their children being diagnosed with autism later in life. Researchers found as lithium concentrations increased in drinking water, so too did the risk of ASD diagnosis.

          Lithium Distribution Differs in Brains of Depressed People

          A new technique allowed researchers to evaluate the distribution of lithium levels in the human brain. Findings revealed those without depression had significantly more lithium in the brain's white matter than in gray matter. By contrast, those with depression or suicidal ideations had more balanced distribution of lithium in both white and gray matter.

          Previous research into the effects of lithium exposure via breastmilk are poorly designed and sparse, researchers report. Until more research is done, mothers and babies should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis for lithium continuation, as discontinuing the medication could pose a significant risk for both child and parent.
