The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of teen-centric mindfulness education with emotion regulation education on aggression and anxiety in adolescent girls with type II bipolar disorder. The study employed a pre-test, post-test and follow-up quasi-experimental research design. The participants consisted of all adolescent girls with type II bipolar disorder who referred to Al-Zahra hospital of Isfahan. A total of 45 girls with type II bipolar disorder were selected using voluntary sampling method and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomly divided into two experimental and one control group (each group was 15 participants). The participants responded to Eysenck and Glenn Wilson's Aggression Questionnaire and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) before and after the intervention and 45 days later in the follow-up phase. One of the experimental groups was treated with Bordic-Package Teen-Centric Mindfulness, and the other underwent Grass Emotion regulation teaching. The results indicated that teen-centric mindfulness training and emotion regulation education were effective on decreasing aggression and anxiety in adolescent girls with type II bipolar disorder in post-test and follow up stages. Teen-centric mindfulness education was more effective than emotion regulation education (P<0.001). Therefore, the results can be used to reduce aggression and anxiety in adolescent girls with type II bipolar disorder.
