Abstract Background Lithium is considered the gold standard treatment for bipolar disorder (BD). Current clinical guidelines and scientific evidence support its use as a first-line treatment in BD. However, over the last two decades, there has been a downward tendency in lithium's use in several developed countries. Based on a nationwide survey, this study's objective is to analyze in a large sample of psychiatrists relevant issues of the use of lithium salts in BD. Methods Data were collected through an anonymous survey sent by email among 500 psychiatrists who belong to a National Society of Psychiatry (Spanish Society of Biological Psychiatry). The survey is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 21 items on the most key aspects of lithium's use (indication, dosage, monitoring, and information for patients). Results 212 psychiatrists completed the survey. 70% of psychiatrists prescribe lithium to more than 50% of patients diagnosed with BD. Adverse effects are the main reason not to use lithium salts. Over 75% of the participants consider lithium salts the treatment of choice for the maintenance phase of BD, both in women and men. Most of the participants (> 50%) start lithium after the first affective episode, use conservative plasma concentrations (0.6–0.8 mmol/L), and generally prescribe it twice a day. 57% of psychiatrists who treat patients under 18 do not use lithium in this population. About 70% of the survey respondents use official protocols to inform and monitor patients on lithium treatment. Conclusions From the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the use of lithium in Spain is in line with the recommendations of the main international clinical guidelines and current scientific literature. The first reason not to prescribe lithium in our country is the perception of its adverse effects and not the aspects related to its practical use or its effectiveness. Considering that BD is a chronic disease with a typical onset in adolescence, the low rate of prescription of lithium salts in patients under 18 must be thoroughly studied.

Manic Patients

Since the original observations in Australia by Cade (1949) and Noack and Trautner (1951) on the use of lithium salts in psychiatric practice there has been a modest but steady stream of publications on the subject. The most persistent investigator has been Schou in Denmark (1954, 1955, 1956, 1959), who, with his colleagues, has been able to present a series of manic patients, observed over a sufficient period of time and subjected to controlled conditions, in which the clinical value of the drug has been convincingly demonstrated. Other important series have been reported by Teuliéet al.(1955), Rice (1956), Adreaniet al.(1958), Kingstone (1960), and Gershon and Yuwiller (1960).

Lithium salts were dissolved in ionic liquid [Amim]Cl, and their dissolution behavior were tested by turbidimeter. It is found that the solubility of LiCl in [Amim]Cl is up to 14g/100g [Amim]Cl at 70°C, and it keeps growing as the temperature increase. Turbidity of cellulose solution in [Amim]Cl at 70°C was obtained, but the solubility of high concentration cellulose solution could not be demonstrated accurately in this way. Cellulose solutions with [Amim]Cl or [Amim]Cl/lithium salts as solvents at different temperature were obtained, in which the lithium salts were 1wt%(mass fraction of [Amim]Cl), polarization microscope was used to observe the dissolution behavior of cellulose. The solubility of cellulose would increased as temperature rose, and the solubility of cellulose in [Amim]Cl/1wt%LiCl reached 11.9%(mass fraction of [Amim]Cl) at 80°C, which was higher than in [Amim]Cl 9.4% at 80°C. It is found that the addition of lithium salts into [Amim]Cl can really improve the solubility of cellulose than in [Amim]Cl.
