Abstract

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy and admission-and-acceptance therapy on depression and positive and negative symptoms of bipolar disorder patients. In this quasi-experimental study, 36 pre-test and post-test posttest students were randomly selected using available sampling method and 36 psychiatric hospitals referring to diagnostic and statistical guidelines for psychiatric disorders , Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, were randomly divided into three groups of 12. The first group received 10 sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy, the second group received no intervention during 12 sessions of acceptance and commitment therapy, and the control group received no intervention and were placed on the waiting list. Data were collected through questionnaires of bipolar depression and positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. For data analysis, covariance analysis was used. The findings showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy and admission and commitment therapy in the experimental groups reduced depression and positive and negative symptoms. While no change was observed in the control group.
There was also no significant difference between cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance-based treatment and commitment to reduce depression. But the ACT approach has been more effective in regulating both positive and negative symptoms. The results of these treatments will reduce the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Therefore, the development of these therapeutic interventions along with drug therapy can control and prevent recurrence of symptoms of bipolar disorder.
