I think since she was sent there by LE, they could be notified is releases were signed by EJ.
Why is this medication prescribed?
Lithium is used to treat and prevent episodes of mania (frenzied, abnormally excited mood) in people with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of depression, episodes of mania, and other abnormal moods). Lithium is in a class of medications called antimanic agents. It works by decreasing abnormal activity in the brain.

I believe lithium is used to treat bipolar disorder.

According to court paperwork, Johnson was on lithium during the questioning.

Personally, I think she may have been misdiagnosed, or 'under-diagnosed'. That is, I think she has a long-term disorder, perhaps bipolar, that was untreated, and on top of that I think she also developed PPD or even PPP. .
Yes it is a very effective medication for BiPolar Disorder. From reading the hand written motion to change counsel, I would say it is working quite well. However, no drug can treat Borderline Personality Disorder. Also the motion to dismiss strikes me as a last ditch effort to avoid giving Gabriel up. We may be close to learning what really happened. If this goes to trial, I fear that may indicate Gabriel may be dead.
If she did kill Gabriel, I don't think she thinks it was wrong... Maybe she thinks she gave birth to Gabriel, and he's HER object, and she can dispose of her object when and how she feels like it.

I am bipolar. This woman presents nothing indicative of bipolar disorder or any type of mood disorder to me. She's got some definite personality disorders going on though. I think the term you are looking for is borderline personality disorder - people often get these confused. The violent rages and manipulation is definitely, definitely borderline.
Characteristics of borderlines include:
- frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment
A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation
Identity disturbance, such as a significant and persistent unstable self-image or sense of self
Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating)
Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior
Emotional instability due to significant reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)
Chronic feelings of emptiness
Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)
Transient, stress-related paranoid thoughts or severe dissociative symptoms
Also, her years in foster care could have resulted in some type of reactive attachment disorder, or avoidant personality. Attachment disorders are common in children who grow up in foster care situations - they basically fail to "attach" to a caregiver the way that you and I attach to and develop love for our parents as babies, because they've been bounced around to so many different caregivers. They either learn not to attach at all and therefore fail to develop empathy for other people, or overly attach to certain people and can become jealous and possessive, and can react violently if rejected - EJ's relationship with Gabe's father comes to mind.
Both borderline personality disorder and attachment disorder can produce a very dangerous and scary adult such as EJ.
What I understand is borderline is mainly driven by rejection and abandonment, not so with bipolar.

I have heard people with both borderline and narcissistic personality disorders are bad news and can be dangerous.
How she is not in Prison baffles me. Though if Casey Anthony can get off I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore. I don't believe for one second she gave him to Tammy or did a black market adoption. IMO there were too many places she could've disposed of him on the way to Miami and she wanted to punish Logan. She IMO knew if she gave him to someone there was a chance Logan would get him back
