Manic means insane and depressive states are two contrasts, so only paradoxical suits here in the blank.

Options B E can be discarded. Among A, C and D ,D wins because while A and C cast a doubt on the effect of the drug, D enforces that the drug works but in ways it is not supposed to. Hence paradoxical

The (i) _______ effectiveness of lithium as a mood-altering drug for both manic and depressive states cannot be completely explained;

both manic and depressive = both POSITIVE (in the sense too active maniacal) and negative ( depressive or slow inactive) lead us to a paradox because the drug works in both spectrums

E does not have any sense in the context
