When we are in love, we like to listen to heartbreak ballads. Beautiful weather calls for cheerful sounds. There is the right music for every mood. Hard rhythms make the heart race, soft melodies soothe.
We instinctively know what each type of music does to our bodies and especially to our brains. We use certain types of music specifically to release or influence our moods. Music reflects our lives for what they are: a series of emotional ups and downs. Music is therefore used in medicine as a complement to traditional healing methods.
Music therapy helps with depression
Numerous clinical studies have been able to prove the anxiolytic and pain-relieving effect of music. Researchers and physicians are observing effects such as muscle relaxation, lowering heart rate and blood pressure or stabilizing the breathing rhythm.
Considering the symptoms of the disease and drug treatment, music therapy is very promising and is mainly used for mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety disorders. Studies show that listening to a favorite piece of music releases dopamine and provides a sense of well-being.a feeling of well-being.
Music can relieve a number of symptoms
People with disabilities or other impairments are also treated with music therapy. The patient actively participates by playing an instrument or singing. In a conversation with the therapist, the patient’s experiences, emotions, and wishes are worked on. This is called active music therapy.
The therapy can also be receptive, i.e. the patient listens to specially selected pieces of music together with the therapist. This triggers mental and physical processes to relieve the symptoms.
