    1. Depression looks like typical major depression
      1. Mania looks like inflated self-esteem, decreased need for sleep, increased talkativeness, racing thoughts, distractability, increased goal-directed activities, and excessive involvement in dangerous but pleasureable activity.

                      1. Close monitoring encourages compliance and helps prevent toxicity.
                      2. Acts like sodium in body, so when sodium is greatly reduced, chance of lithium toxicity increases.
