Abstract

Introduction: The current research aimed to determine the dominant draft scenario of the life of women with bipolar I disorder.
 
Materials and Methods: This qualitative research was a phenomenological study, and we collected the data using Colaizzi's method. We interviewed 21 female patients with bipolar I disorder admitted to the neuropsychiatric department of three hospitals in Isfahan City, Iran, in 2020, and the life scenarios of the subjects were investigated. The triangulation method was used to obtain the validity and reliability of the research findings.
 
Results: The scenarios were categorized into high, medium, and low repetition. The most frequent codes included suicide (26 repetitions) with the subcategories of suicidal thoughts, despair of life, and feeling close to death. Codes with moderate repetition included negative emotions (18 repetitions) with the subcategories of feeling like others are strangers to you, feeling rejected, uninterested in life, liking dark colors, and feeling empty. The less frequent codes included negative actions (11 repetitions) with the subcategories of self-sacrifice, suppression of hearing from others, sexual abuse, self-mutilation, running away from home, substance use, and difficulty in life.
 
Conclusion: The findings showed that the dominant scenario in women with bipolar disorder, based on high frequency, was the "do not exist" scenario.
