For more than 30 years, James Greenblatt, MD has been at the forefront of clinical application of low-dose lithium for mental health. Long before the recent surge of global interest sparked by Nature’s 2025 article on lithium and Alzheimer’s disease, Dr. Greenblatt was pioneering treatment with this powerful yet overlooked mineral. As a dual board-certified psychiatrist, researcher, and author, he has tirelessly advanced the evidence showing how low-dose lithium can protect the brain, reduce irritability, prevent suicide, and improve cognition.
Dr. Greenblatt is the author of Nutritional Lithium: A Cinderella Story: The Untold Tale of a Mineral That Transforms Lives and Heals the Brain, the definitive book on lithium’s role in psychiatry.
He has published widely, trained thousands of clinicians, and built treatment protocols that challenge conventional psychiatry’s narrow focus on pharmaceuticals. Through his leadership at Psychiatry Redefined, Dr. Greenblatt continues to educate and inspire a new generation of practitioners about the safe, effective, and life-changing applications of low-dose lithium.
