Is There An Alternative Medicine For Lithium To Prolong Life Expectancy?

I met a girl who needs to take lithium for her medical condition. She said that her life expectancy u sing Lithium will be up in 2 years and she has no options for alternate medication. Is this possible? She commented her life will be over in 2 years. I intend to continue my own research on this situation. Please advise.
