A Review on the Detrimental Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Mental Health of Chlldren by Sueanne Chong
Hi Sueanne, I really enjoyed your exposition on the detrimental impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of children. A very informative read, well done ! I am glad there is some Medication that children may take to treat this mental illness. You mentioned for children above the age of 7, Lithium carbonate can be used to treat depression associated with bipolar disorder. Just have a few questions that came to mind after reading your article Is the Lithium carbonate available from the Chemist as tablets or in liquid form ? Do you need a prescription to obtain such medication ? Also, do you know if there may be any long term side effects or problems associated with taking any dosages of this medication for depression associated with bipolar disorder ?
