Introduction: Meniere's disease is associated with many emotional symptoms and the lifestyle of patients can play a role in the disease. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of schema therapy on emotional symptoms, experiential avoidance, and lifestyle of patients with Meniere's.

Thirthy people who had the conditions to participate in the study were selected from among the referents by available sampling method. Using a random method, the participants were replaced in two groups of 15 people, schema therapy and control.
