Thematic Series: Controversies around lithium

The International Journal of Bipolar Disorders is calling for submissions to our Collection on Controversies around lithium. The ultimate goal of this Collection is to assist in unravelling the biological mechanisms behind lithium’s clinical effects in order to enhance diagnosis and therapy of bipolar disorders. Further submissions on the topic are encouraged, please submit here.

Aims and scope

International Journal of Bipolar Disorders is a peer-reviewed, open access online journal publishing contributions from the broad range of clinical, psychological and biological research in bipolar disorders. It collaborates with the International Group for the study of Lithium Treated Patients (IGSLi) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Bipolare Störungen (DGBS), and serves as the official journal of these organisations. International Journal of Bipolar Disorders invites clinicians and researchers from around the globe to submit original research articles, short research communications, reviews, guidelines, case reports, study protocols and letters to the editor that help to enhance understanding of bipolar disorders. The journal makes all articles freely available to researchers worldwide, ensuring maximum dissemination of content. Content is published online continuously to provide timely communication to the community and keep publication times to a minimum.
