| Summary: | The results suggest a benefit of lithium in reducing mania symptoms for this population. Current guideline recommendations advise using aripiprazole for mania in young people. According to the recommendations for adults, lithium can be used in conjunction with an antipsychotic as a third-line treatment if alternatives are poorly tolerated. The outcome of this study is unlikely to impact NICE guideline CG185 recommendations due to the methodological limitations. There remains sufficient uncertainty in the effectiveness of lithium in this population to warrant a challenge to the current recommendations |
