The successful application of lithium salts in treating bipolar disorder marks a milestone in metallotherapeutics. Ongoing research has revitalized the clinical application of this "classic drug" lithium carbonate. Since the late 19th century, lithium salts have been found effective in improving bipolar disorder and established as a standard treatment. Recent studies highlight lithium's potential in neuroprotection, metabolic regulation, and cancer therapy due to its unique physicochemical properties. Its clinical applications continue to expand, demonstrating significant value in fields such as metalloimmunotherapy. This review summarizes the mechanisms of lithium and its growing role in treating diverse diseases.
