it is an anti depressant to lift your mood. the same medicine can also be used for smoking cessation

Hello, Thanks for the query. Lithium in large doses can affect kidneys. Even uncontrolled diabetes also can affect kidneys. Whether one takes 600 mg or a SR (sustained release) tablet both can affect kidney when used for a long time.

In psychiatry, there is no need of conducting 'tests' in your terms. The best test the psychiatrist conducts, is called as 'mental status examination'
diagnosis in psychiatry is mostly the symptom clusters and mental status examination.
