> How does lithium control and provide relief from mania?

One mechanism proposed is the inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) and a reduction in the activity of membrane-bound G-protein dopamine and glutamate receptors. Another involves the inhibition of dopamine receptor glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) signalling. Note that these explain mania rather than depression.
