Research finds music therapy lowers depression in children and teens.

There are many forms of healing. In my work as a psychologist I often cite films, novels, music and other forms of art. Congruent with earlier research, a study by Bournemouth University and Queen’s University Belfast has found that music therapy reduces depression in children and adolescents. In this study children from ages 8 to 16 that received music therapy had improved self-esteem and a significant reduction of depression-related symptoms compared to children who received treatment without music therapy. The study also concluded that music helped teens have improved communication skills, and social functioning was improved in all the age groups that were investigated. You can learn more here.

Teen depression is something that's eating our society right now. It's a silent one, that we won't even know that young people are suffering from it. I love that you share this piece as it also spread awareness to everyone. Depression is something that's often hiding away from the smiles of person around you.
