Mental Health Benefits
MOOD IMPROVEMENT Music is able to boost your brain's production of the hormone 'dopamine.' This hormone is related to mood, but also affects your anxiety and depression. Now, music won't be replacing pharmaceuticals or therapy any time soon, but is able to help regulate and improve your mood.
Stress Reduction
04
Because of music's influence over hormonal production, stress is also something that can benefit from music. Music is processed by the brain's amygdala, which directly controls emotional responses.
05
Stimulate Memories
Alzheimer's and dementia currently have no cure, but some symptoms can be managed through music therapy. Much has been done in the field of therapy to show how music can stimulate memories and aid in symptom control in mental disorders such as these.
Heart Health
06
Research has been done to show that blood flow is improved when music is played. This is likely related to the hormones that music can help stimulate. This improvement includes reduced heart rate and lower blood pressure.
07
Pain Management
The influence that music has over stress levels and hormones can improve pain management. The strong stimulation of music can compete with pain signals as well, providing several ways that music influences pain management.
