This is episode 1  of the series: Music in Health and Healing

The purpose of this course is to discuss how music therapy could be a beneficial tool to add to your nonpharmacological intervention toolkit. Researchers are finding that music therapy has many benefits in health and healing, from reducing stress and promoting relaxation to lowering anxiety levels before surgery more effectively than prescription drugs. Music therapy is being used to treat pain and multiple mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It has also been proven effective in dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and autism. We will also discuss how music is used in other cultures, its effect on mental health conditions, and its influence on empathy.
