Abstract

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was originally believed to be a rare mental illness. However, recent surveys and research have shown that OCD is one of the most common mental disorders. Research in India showed that the treatment of OCD using SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) is preferred over the tricyclic group. This paper will discuss sertraline as the alternative to clomipramine for OCD. Objective: Clomipramine as the treatment of choice for OCD is no longer included in the Indonesian MIMS index. Recent research suggests sertraline is preferred over clomipramine, and this paper discusses the efficacy of sertraline through a case study. Methods: This study is a retrospective descriptive study on the case of 21-year-old male met the ICD-X criteria of OCD for having unwanted thoughts and repetitive behavior for locking the door and orderly compiling the books. The symptoms developed since he graduated from high school (three years before admission) and got worse since the last year. Sertraline was prescribed in the first place. The patient was routinely monitored during each visit for the next three months. Results: The symptoms improved significantly after routinely taking sertraline for two months. The adverse effects were well-tolerated, such as nausea, headaches, and tachycardia. Psychotherapy was needed to modify the patient’s obsession and to anticipate the risk of personality disorder should be noticed because the disorder appeared at a young age. Conclusion: Sertraline as well as psychotherapy are worthy of consideration as first-line OCD therapy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The aesthetic dimensions of music have attracted increasing scholarly attention due to their potential to enhance psychological well-being. This narrative review aimed to synthesize conceptual, empirical, and contextual perspectives on music aesthetics and mental health. Literature was collected from major academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, using keywords such as aesthetic appeal, music therapy, emotion in music, and mental health. Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies addressing the relationship between music and psychological outcomes, while exclusion criteria removed works unrelated to aesthetics or lacking empirical grounding. Both qualitative and quantitative studies were included to ensure breadth and depth. Findings revealed diverse conceptual frameworks, ranging from psychological and historical analyses to therapeutic models and cross-cultural interpretations. Empirical evidence demonstrated significant improvements in mental health outcomes associated with music engagement, with statistical data confirming the benefits of both active creation and passive appreciation. Paradoxically, even sad music was found to generate pleasurable and beneficial experiences, reflecting the complexity of emotional responses. Cross-national studies highlighted cultural variability, showing that aesthetic experiences are deeply shaped by social, economic, and institutional contexts. The discussion linked these findings to systemic barriers, emphasizing the need for more inclusive methodologies, cross-cultural research, and policy frameworks that support equitable access to aesthetic practices. Overall, the review confirms the therapeutic and social significance of music aesthetics while calling for greater inclusivity, methodological innovation, and systemic support. These findings suggest that advancing music aesthetics in research, education, and health services represents a crucial strategy for fostering psychological resilience and social cohesion.
