Dr John Cade AO began his tenure at Bundoora Repatriation Mental Hospital in 1939 as a medical officer. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in July 1940 and was assigned to the 2/9 Field Ambulance. When Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942, Dr Cade, along with thousands of other Allied troops, became a prisoner-of-war at Changi camp until the end of the war.
On his return to Australia, Dr Cade resumed his position at Bundoora and in 1947 was promoted to senior medical officer. He strongly believed that some mental illnesses were caused by metabolic disturbance and set about testing his theory in a disused kitchen of an old ward that served as his research laboratory. The results of Dr Cade’s subsequent discovery of the calming effects produced by lithium carbonate in treating mental illness were presented in a paper entitled, Lithium salts in the treatment of psychotic excitement, published in the Medical Journal of Australia (1949).
