Abstract:
To prescribe lithium appropriately to bipolar patients, detecting clinical predictors of lithium response in bipolar disorder is important. Considering all mood stabilizers except lithium are anticonvulsants, there may be some relationship between lithium response and EEG abnormalities. The present paper reviews the electroencephalogram finding as a possible predictor of lithium response.
