520    From insulin comas and lobotomy to incarceration to exile,
       Walter Brown chronicles the troubling history of the 
       diagnosis and (often ineffective) treatment of bipolar 
       disorder through the centuries, before the publication of 
       a groundbreaking research paper in 1949. Cade's "Lithium 
       Salts in the Treatment of Psychotic Excitement" described,
       for the first time, lithium's astonishing efficacy at both
       treating and preventing the recurrence of manic-depressive
       episodes, and would eventually transform the lives of 
       patients, pharmaceutical researchers, and practicing 
       physicians worldwide. And yet, as Brown shows, it would be
       decades before lithium would overcome widespread 
       stigmatization as a dangerous substance, and the 
       resistance from the pharmaceutical industry, which had 
       little incentive to promote a naturally occurring drug 
       that could not be patented. Brown also provides a vivid 
       portrait of the story's unlikely hero, John Cade, a 
       devoted naturalist who, unlike many modern medical 
       researchers, did not benefit from prestigious research 
       training or big funding sources. In this revelatory 
       biography of a drug and the man who fought for its 
       discovery, Brown crafts a captivating picture of modern 
       medical history-revealing just how close we came to 
       passing over this extraordinary cure.
