Lithium is an element. It is listed on the periodic table of elements. It was found in nature rather than something that people made by shooting protons into elements or whatever it is that they do...
'Natural' could mean a whole bunch of different things...
But the discovery that Lithium was fairly effective for some people was revolutionary in the history of psychiatry. It is typically considered the model or paradigmatic case of successful prescriptive treatment.
