Background
>There is some evidence that natural levels of lithium in drinking water may have a protective effect on suicide mortality.

Aims
>To evaluate the association between local lithium levels in drinking water and suicide mortality at district level in Austria.

Method
>A nationwide sample of 6460 lithium measurements was examined for association with suicide rates per 100 000 population and suicide standardised mortality ratios across all 99 Austrian districts. Multivariate regression models were adjusted for well-known socioeconomic factors known to influence suicide mortality in Austria (population density, per capita income, proportion of Roman Catholics, as well as the availability of mental health service providers). Sensitivity analyses and weighted least squares regression were used to challenge the robustness of the results.

Results
>The overall suicide rate (R2 = 0.15, β =–0.39, t =–4.14, P = 0.000073) as well as the suicide mortality ratio (R2 = 0.17, β =–0.41, t =–4.38, P = 0.000030) were inversely associated with lithium levels in drinking water and remained significant after sensitivity analyses and adjustment for socioeconomic factors.

Conclusions
>In replicating and extending previous results, this study provides strong evidence that geographic regions with higher natural lithium concentrations in drinking water are associated with lower suicide mortality rates.

Where I live there are hotsprings and people used to bath in them 100 years ago. They said it cured depression or mental problems. They eventually discovered there was lithium in the water and stopped the treatments and stopped people from drinking it. Since then I think they may have mined all the lithium out or something. But it is one of the chemicals they use in bipolar and schizo medicine. No wonder the people the people were feeling feeling happy

Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness.

Dump it all in the water so we can protect all our precious trannies. Their lives matter. You care, don't you? Keeping adding it incrementally until the rate drops to 0%.
