      Mood stabilizers represent the first treatment for acute episodes and prophylaxis of recurrences in patients with BD.

Most neuroimaging studies have looked at the effect of Lithium cross-sectionally and suggest that there is a neurotrophic (ameliorative) effect of Lithium on structural brain measures (increases in volumes and cortical thickness). Yet, the effect of long-term exposure to Lithium on the brain remains unclear.
