Lithium in aggressive behavior. 1982

H B Schiff, and T D Sabin, and A Geller, and L Alexander, and V Mark

A patient with intractable aggression was treated with lithium carbonate. On the basis of the authors' study and their review of the literature, they conclude that lithium may exacerbate the interictal aggression sometimes noted in patients with temporal lobe spike activity.
