The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so if you look at those data it's actually not that subtle when you overlay like the US map of groundwater of lithium and mental health it's a it's a very nice Association now there is no doubt in my mind that you could think of other explanations for that I mean and that's the beauty of you know trying to be thoughtful about these things as well maybe the lithium in the groundwater is a proxy for something else maybe it's a proxy for education for socioeconomic status for weather like you could think of ten other things that could be back
I think the evidence that groundwater containing higher levels of lithium rather than lower levels of lithium contributing to better mental health is you know as good as any such data can be which is to say not great I call it like tier 2 epidemiology
