Lithium probably isn't the problem. The problem is probably going to be who do you trust to either add it to or remove from the water supply? Would you trust the mayor of Flint Michigan ? It's not as if every politician is trustworthy. At one time we started adding fluoride to drinking water and then suddenly we had people claiming that it was some mind control drug or some silly nonsense.. What? Vaccinate my kids to prevent horrific diseases from spreading ? Well , shouldn't we all be allowed to put the rest of society at risk because I believe [insert silly claims by known television personalities ].. You can bet that if lithium were added to the water supply there would suddenly be claims of big government mind control programs and on and on.
Personally I'm just fine with getting depressed occasionally without someone telling me my moods must be monitored by the department of mood disorders. lol
