A human being is likened to a battery and symbolism used for batteries,as treatment of Bipolar disorder is done with lithium-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_ion_battery.
Lithium-ion batteries are common in portable consumer electronics because of their high energy-to-weight ratios, lack of memory effect, and slow loss of charge when not in use. In addition to consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are inceasingly used in defense, automotive, and aerospace applications due to their high energy density.[5] However, certain kinds of mistreatment may cause conventional Li-ion batteries to explode.
Bipolar disorder affects much of America. One percent of Americans have this disorder. On average, a person with bipolar will experience three to four episodes per year. However, bipolar disorder is a functioning disease. People with this disorder can function normally in society between episodes and, when properly medicated, even during mild episodes. More research is still needed in the application of lithium to the treatments of AIDS and cancer.
One of the other uses from lithium treatment is in the treatment of suicide. This is mainly because of the close link between suicide and bipolar disorder. The suicide rate for those with bipolar disorder is approximately 20 percent. On average, lithium reduces suicide risk by at least six fold, while abrupt stoppage of treatment greatly increases suicide risk.

Treatment of Bipolar Disorder
Lithium’s effect on mood stabilization was first discovered by John Frederick Joseph Cade, and was published September 1949 in the Medical Journal of Australia. Cade was testing the effect of uric acid on mice. Because uric acid is insoluble, Cade chose the most soluble salt of it, lithium ureate. He discovered this compound had a calming effect on mice. After extensive testing, he discovered that while lithium had little effect on depressed patients, manic patients became much calmer after lithium use.

As the episode progresses, “the patient exhibits racing thoughts, extreme agitation, and incoherence, frequently replaced with delusions, hallucinations, and paranoid fears.” (3) During a depressive episode, the patient may experience “anxiety, loss of appetite, insomnia and feelings that the world has become ‘colorless’ or ‘lifeless’.” (4)Bipolar disorder is a largely genetically inherited disorder. A child who has one parent with bipolar disorder has a 27% chance of being affected and the possibility jumps to 50-75% when both parents are affected. Seventy percent of cases begin after age 20.

Lithium has been the first choice for years for the treatment of bipolar disorder, sold under the names Carbolith, Duralith, Eskalith, Lithane, Lithizine, and Lithobid.
