"If a drug such as lithium carbonate, alleviates symptoms of mood 
disorders, then it must be that mood disorders are caused ONLY by 
biochemical disturbances ." Discuss this statement. Could you provide 
me with key topics that I should be researching to answer this 
statement along with any information you want to share? By mood 
disorders I mean such things as Bipolar Disorder, Depression, 
Cyclothymic Disorder, Dysthymic Disorder.
