Bromism is the syndrome which results from the long-term consumption of bromine usually through bromide-based sedatives such as potassium bromide and lithium bromide. Bromism was once a very common disorder being responsible for 5-10% of psychiatric hospital admissions. It is now an uncommon disorder because bromide was withdrawn from clinical use in many countries and was severely restricted in others.
