Health Concern For Patty Duke - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It appears that Patty is OK now, but it turns out that the lithium she has been taking for almost 30 years has caused severe kidney damage.

The very thing that helped her gain control of her life ends up hurting her.

Interesting that the article starts out just barely touching upon Miss Duke's kidney damage but then goes on about mental health issues in general without a backwards glance. Nothing whatsoever about how other folks taking lithium (or other psychological medications) may be at risk for serious physical problems!

Regardless, I hope they're able to find a safer substitute (and the pharmacists/physicians are REALLY careful about side effects before doling it out!

I hope she is able to regain her health from this.

I hope Patti recovers from this and finds a safer medication to use in place of the lithium.
