Due to the fact that bipolar disorder is one of the most common psychiatric disorders, this study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness on improving bipolar disorder syndrome with a history of impulsive behaviors. The method used in this research is experimental and pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population in this study was patients with bipolar disorder in the psychiatric ward of Farabi Hospital in Isafahn in 2019. Based on the diagnosis of a psychiatrist, they were diagnosed with this disorder. And were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups and 11 people were placed in each group. Data were collected through the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (Barratt, 2004), Bar-on Emotional Intelligence (Bar-on, 1980). Data analysis was analyzed by analysis of covariance and SPSS25 software. The results showed that the intervention made significant changes in improving interpersonal relationships and impulsive actions of bipolar disorder (p= 0.001).
