Being someone who actually TAKES Lithium... (400mgs a night, previously 600mgs, before that 800mgs, and before that 600mgs again) I happen to know that it doesn't treat voices. Lithium is a mood stabilizer not an anti-psychotic. It treats illnesses such as Bipolarity (Manic Depression/Bipolar disorder) and other mood disorders...not "hearing voices" or schizophrenia.
Extreme mania or paranoia can make one very delusional (as I have been the former in the past) but it's not "Hearing voices" or schizophrenia unless it's also hallucination (which I have never had (hearing voices are aural hallucinations)).

If I'd never taken Lithium I would have either taken longer to recover or I'd still be a nutcase.
