[Organic psychosyndrome with and without lithium therapy].
After two years of treatment with Lithium-salts we did not find organic brain syndrome. Lithium treated patients have improved in thinking, concentration, the short-time memory, attention and conception. Control group did not have this improvement. Lithium-treated patients seemed to have more self-confidence, more flexibility and are able to master problems in a better way. Control group patients were more dependent on their moods and therefore did not improve in efficiency.
