is it true that listening to music alleviates depressions?

Yes music can effect your mood just like everything else.

I guess it depends on the lyrics of the song.. :) Well, I suggest that if you're sad and hurt, don't ever listen to sad songs.. it will only trigger the pain in your heart.. ^^ When I'm sad.. I listen to the song "Fixing a Broken Heart" because It's my song to God.. and as I listen to that.. it gives me hope and makes me feel good.

I sing when I am down for any reason, I love singing and I listen to things that uplift me when I am upset...

All of us use music in different ways to ease and forget all the pains and sorrows that we felt in the past. Music, for me, helps to ease the pain. When I heard the song has a great beat and good lyrics. I try to understand the lyrics and find its meaning. Sometimes, I'll cry because of the music I am listening because there are music that really relate to my own past. Another thing is that emotions are not bad. It is good because you can release all the stress that you repressed on yourself and you will feel relief when it is over. :D

yes, listening to music relieves us from pain. music motivates, affects and influences. it would of course depend upon the kind of music you listen to. if you're depressed and you listen to some spiritual or relaxing music, you'd notice that you are being rewarded with some sort of relief :)

Hi kimte! Yes. Music will alleviate depression. It helps me a lot. When i am sad a little bit, i used to listen to folk songs. This will bring joy and happiness. If i am very sad, i will listen to sad songs. It will make me more sad and cry. When you are sad, feel alone, and depressed listen to some good music which will give you happiness.

I think it can, but it can also make it worse depending on what you are listening too.
