Music therapy uses rhythm, melody, and sound to support emotional and psychological healing. Listening to or creating music can reduce stress, lower anxiety, and improve mood by stimulating dopamine and endorphin release. Music therapy is particularly effective in managing depression, trauma, and dementia-related challenges. It provides a nonverbal outlet for expressing emotions that may be difficult to articulate. Group music sessions also enhance social connection and reduce isolation. Whether through playing instruments, singing, or mindful listening, music therapy nurtures emotional resilience and well-being.
