We all know music can change our mood, but what if it could actually heal? Science is increasingly showing that music isn’t just entertainment, it’s a powerful form of medicine. Music therapy harnesses the unique ways music affects our brain and nervous system to help with a range of conditions, from reducing anxiety and lowering stress hormones to serving as a powerful distraction for people with chronic pain
Perhaps most remarkably, music has shown incredible promise in helping individuals with dementia. Familiar songs can trigger memories and improve mood, activating multiple areas of the brain to help bypass damaged regions. From soothing stress to awakening memories, music truly offers a harmonious path to healing
Personally, I feel Music as a good therapy especially when i am mentally broken or need to focus. I feel music as my best friend to up lift my mood and bring back my confidence. I usually make my playlist such a way that i play songs according to my mood. for example, if i feel sad, emotionally drained i play songs that uplift my mood like motivational songs. If i feel happy and in joyful mood i play some feel-good songs. I feel this is truly therapeutic.
