Serious question:

Given the mood alerting properties of lithium, are people living here chiller than would be expected (controlling for instance for poverty / SES) ?

I am not a health researcher or anyting, but a quick googling seems to suggest its possible that it lowers risks of suicide[0] and other affective disorders, which by extension it would lower the rates of issues that can contribute to these issues I'd think.

That said, I honestly am unsure. It also is a requisite that it must be in the water in sufficient but low amounts

It also causes obesity and may be the cause of American obesity in the South.
