Bromism is the syndrome which results from the long-term consumption of bromine, usually through bromine-based sedatives such as potassium bromide and lithium bromide. Bromide was used in medicinal drugs for indications as broad as insomnia, hysteria, anxiety, and even excessive libido, making it one of the most frequently used class of medicinal drugs prior to its reduction in the early 20th century.
