Music and Anxiety

Many People Find Familiar Music Comforting And Calming. In Fact, Music Is So Effective In Reducing Anxiety, It Is Often Used In Dental, Preoperative, And Radiation Therapy Settings To Help Patients Cope With Their Worries About Procedures. Music Helps Decrease Anxiety In The Elderly, New Mothers, And Children Too. Musicā€™s Ability To Banish Worries Is Illustrated In The Rogers And Hammerstein Lyrics,                                                                                 ā€œwhenever I Feel Afraid, I Hold My Head Erect                                                                              And Whistle A Happy Tune, So No One Will Suspect Iā€™m Afraidā€¦                                                  And Every Single Time,                                                                                                                The Happiness In The Tune Convinces Me That Iā€™m Not Afraid.ā€                                             
Any Kind Of Relaxing, Calming Music Can Contribute To Calmer Moods. Calming Music Can Be Combined With Cognitive Therapy To Lower Anxiety Even More Effectively Than Conventional Therapy Alone.                                                                                                           Some Studies Suggest That Specially Designed Music, Such As Music That Includes Tones That Intentionally Induce Binaural Beats To Put Brain Waves Into Relaxed Delta Or Theta Rhythms, Can Help Improve Symptoms In Anxious Patients Even More Than Music Without These Tones; Listening To This Music Without Other Distractions (Not While Driving, Cooking, Talking, Or Reading) Promotes The Best Benefits.
