If I have a bad day, I come home and turn on one of my relaxation cds that I bought at walmart, u know the ones they sell by the candles... Its called Reading Music, but it helps me to wind down and regather myself. Either that or I listen to piano music.
I suffer with major depression, and to me, they help me relax and unwind some of the tension that I face on a day to day basis.

Yes but only to an extent like i work in a store that has satillite radio and it is set to top 40's with some classics i'm going to tell you if i have to listen to another Kelly clarkson song im going to rip everybodys hair out of their head on strand at a time. But on the other hand if i go home and listen to progressive metal and rock some psychodelic music all of my hatred for peoples hair goes away. So to make a long answer short (too late) Music can have Very good to Very bad therapy.

I think music is great therapy. It can be whatever music you like or whatever music youre in the mood for. It just depends what you want to hear at the moment. It can help me, but other times it can make me feel worse. I just go off of what Im feeling and go from there.
My lawyer had told me once to listen to music, that it would take my mind off of my pain.

Music Therapy as a career is scientifically based and uses specific techniques to work with clients. It can address cognitive, academic, motor, emotional, and social needs of clients. Therapists set goals and objectives within these areas to work toward clients' specific needs. They also take data during sessions to keep record of progress.
Some basic types of interventions could involve music listening, improv, song composition, singing, playing instruments, musical games and more.
A few exapmles of a who a music therapist can work with include: the elderly, children with autism, hospital patients, children with other disabilities, psychiatric patients, persons with mental retardation or developmental disabilities, and persons in hospice, etc.
That's just a little bit about it. Check out the sites below if you'd like to learn more!

Most definitly. I find most types of music are a therapy. Preferably those with soft melodies and a little bit of Rock and Roll.However most types of music make the world go round and and it certainly makes for a better and more pleasant surroundings.

yes. its a type of mental therapy for the most part. I don't know how to explain it in scientific terms exactly..but it has something to do with the frequency of your brain waves and hearing the music does something to alter them..its very complicated..

Yes, I do think music is therapy for grief and melancholy.
I don't think it will have an effect on clinical depression, though.
OBSERVATION: One manifestation of over schizophrenia is a loss of appreciation for music --it's very sudden and remarkable.

For me the most relaxing music is classical, but I also like most other types...including the "oldies" like 60's and 70's.
