Music therapy uses the power of sound to naturally improve mental health and overall well-being. There are two types of music therapy \u2013 active and passive. While active music therapy includes improvisation and creating music, passive music therapy involves listening and responding to music.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Depending upon the medical requirements, a certified music therapist can instruct listening to music, playing an instrument, writing songs, discussing music, making music, or dancing to music. Music therapy for mental health has shown the most profound health effects. Music therapy can lessen the symptoms of various conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood swings, and insomnia.<br \/>However, music therapy also has a flip side. Excessive indulgence can overstimulate the brain. Also, the wrong choice of music can aggravate symptoms and lead to brain distraction. And the use of loud music can trigger hearing problems. Thus, it is best to seek the benefits of music therapy in a well-structured manner under the guidance of a certified music therapist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>#sp-ea-37580 .spcollapsing { height: 0; overflow: hidden; transition-property: height;transition-duration: 300ms;}.sp-easy-accordion-enabled .eap_section_title_37580, body .eap_section_title_37580 { color: #444; margin-bottom:  30px; }#sp-ea-37580.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px solid #e2e2e2; }#sp-ea-37580.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a {color: #444;}#sp-ea-37580.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.sp-collapse>.ea-body {background: #fff; color: #444;}#sp-ea-37580.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single {background: #eee;}#sp-ea-37580.sp-easy-accordion>.sp-ea-single>.ea-header a .ea-expand-icon { float: left; color: #444;font-size: 16px;}a.collapsed {\r\n    color: #212326 !important;\r\n}<\/style><h2 class=\"eap_section_title eap_section_title_37580\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_About_Music_Therapy\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions About Music Therapy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"sp_easy_accordion-1777528115\"><div id=\"sp-ea-37580\" class=\"sp-ea-one sp-easy-accordion\" data-ea-active=\"ea-click\" data-ea-mode=\"vertical\" data-preloader=\"\" data-scroll-active-item=\"\" data-offset-to-scroll=\"0\"><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_is_music_therapy_generally_used_for\"><\/span><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-375800\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse375800\" aria-controls=\"collapse375800\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> Q.
