Abstract

BackgroundThe potential of comprehensive educational reforms, backed by principles of educational psychology, to positively impact bipolar disorder students is underexplored. Combining such strategies with medical treatment, such as risperidone, might further enhance positive psychological effects. This study hypothesizes that such a synergistic approach can optimize teaching methods and improve the mental health landscape in higher institutions.Subjects and MethodsWe utilized a mixed-methods approach in this non-randomized controlled trial. Study participants included students diagnosed with bipolar disorder across different universities and currently under risperidone treatment. Our research tools included standardized measures such as the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), as well as the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS23.0.ResultsA statistically significant improvement was observed in the student participants’ psychological well-being signs, attributed to the educational reform combined with risperidone treatment. These alterations demonstrated substantial improvements in YMRS and HDRS scores, manifesting reduced manic and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, higher GSES scores reflected enhanced self-efficacy.ConclusionsEducational reform that accommodates the unique learning needs of students with bipolar disorder, combined with risperidone treatment, seems to result in significant positive psychological effects. This study underscores the potentially valuable cross-disciplinary approach to addressing mental health issues within higher education institutions.
