Music & Mental Health - The Understated Symbiosis
Music can have a surprisingly powerful impact on our mental health. Whether it’s playing or listening to music, many people feel a strong connection to it. This isn't just an opinion from some randomer on the internet: Researchers from McGill University in Montreal have found evidence that music releases dopamine (that feel-good chemical in your brain) There are even blogs from people describing their personal experiences with music and how it has helped their mental health ( "Music sets me free from the prison I feel inside my head" - Laura via Mind ) Plus there’s always that notable author of beloved fairy tales, who is so often quoted regarding the value of music: "Where words fail, music speaks" - Hans Christian Andersen
