Background: The basis of care in patients with bipolar disorder is lifestyle evaluation and 
treatments, which can serve as a starting point for therapy and can be used in conjunction with 
psychological and pharmaceutical therapies to enhance positive outcomes and lessen negative 
ones. Additionally, integrating several lifestyle-based methods (such food and exercise therapies) 
may improve the effectiveness of treatment and the healing process. Aim: evaluate the 
effectiveness of lifestyle intervention on recovery of patients with bipolar disorders. Design: 
Quasi experimental design. Setting: The inpatient psychiatric department of Tanta University, 
and The Neurology, Psychiatry, and Neuro-Surgery Center. Subjects: A convenient sample of 60 
patients with bipolar disorders were allocated randomly to experimental and control group (30 
patients in each group). Tools: Tool I: Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, Tool II:
Simple lifestyle indicator questionnaire (SLIQ). Tool III: bipolar recovery questionnaire (BRQ). 
Results: there was statistical significant difference between experimental and control group after 
implementing lifestyle intervention in all dimensions of lifestyle scale except smoking subscale. 
Conclusion: lifestyle intervention promotes recovery and enhances daily life activities in patients 
with bipolar disorders except smoking habit needs more effort and variety of interventions to 
eliminate it. Recommendation: Different interventions directed to modifying lifestyle activities 
need to be planned and implemented for patients with bipolar disorders to improve their mental 
well-being and enhance their recovery
