Summary

This study tested an 8-session mindfulness-based psychoeducation program in 40 adults with bipolar disorder. Half took the program, half got usual care. After the program, participants reported higher mindfulness, self-compassion, and forgiveness. This suggests that adding mindfulness training to standard care could help people manage emotions and strengthen relationships.
