Abstract

Music therapy has gained recognition as a promising intervention for treating mental health disorders in the field of psychiatry. This review aims to provide a overview of effectiveness of music therapy in addressing various mental health conditions. The review examines relevant studies that investigate the impact of music therapy on symptom management, emotional well-being, cognitive function, and social functioning in individuals with psychiatric disorders. Established quality assessment tools were utilized to evaluate the methodological rigor and risk of bias in the included studies. The findings suggest that music therapy holds potential as a therapeutic approach for improving mental health outcomes. However, further research is needed to explore optimal music therapy techniques, dosage, and long-term effects. This review contributes to the existing evidence base and provides insights for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers in the field of mental health.
