Bipolar disorder has a certain high incidence rate, and the psychological state of student patients has a significant impact on the changes in the condition. Integrating ideological and political education into music education can improve patients’ cognitive and psychological well-being.

In order to verify the therapeutic effect of music education courses that integrate ideological and political thinking on students with bipolar disorder, a study selected 100 students with bipolar disorder and randomly divided them into two groups. One group is the control group, and the patients in this group receive intervention through regular music education courses. The other group is the intervention group, which adopts a music education course intervention treatment method that integrates ideological and political thinking. Both groups of experimental personnel filled out the Young’s Mania Rating Scale and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) before and after the experiment. The changes in the condition of the experimental personnel were analyzed based on the scores of two sets of scales.

The HAMD scores of the control group and intervention group before the experiment were 7.86 ± 1.36 and 7.06 ± 4.59, respectively, and after the experiment were 8.15 ± 2.34 and 9.56 ± 2.86, respectively. In the Yang’s Mania Rating Scale score, the control group and intervention group achieved 3.26 ± 2.15 and 3.78 ± 1.06 respectively before the experiment, and 4.26 ± 2.06 and 5.02 ± 1.01 respectively after the experiment.

Music education courses that incorporate ideological and political thinking are more effective in improving the condition of patients with bipolar disorder.
