The use of lithium in Saudi Arabia is often influenced by concerns about its side effects, the need for monitoring, and product availability. Psychiatrists' familiarity with lithium and the settings in which they practice are significant factors shaping prescribing behavior. Future efforts should focus on addressing the barriers to lithium prescription, including enhancing clinician training and improving access to lithium
