In fact, there was a Science Versus podcast about the benefits of lithium in public drinking water. Lithium naturally occurs in some water sources more than others, and areas with more lithium in the water have better mental health.

If you ever visit Ashland, Oregon—famous for its Shakespeare Festival and chill vibes—you’ll have a chance to drink from their “lithia fountain” at the heart of downtown: https://www.trover.com/d/95b7-lithia-water-fountain-ashland-...

Interesting!
What are the effects of too much lithium though?
(To answer myself, from Wikipedia..) >Common side effects include increased urination, shakiness of the hands, and increased thirst.[2] Serious side effects include hypothyroidism, diabetes insipidus, and lithium toxicity.[2] Blood level monitoring is recommended to decrease the risk of potential toxicity.[2] If levels become too high, diarrhea, vomiting, poor coordination, sleepiness, and ringing in the ears may occur.[2]
