Regular singing can help alleviate mental illness to a certain extent, because music can keep patients with mental illness in a happy mood, and is especially suitable for patients with mental illness such as depression and mania. These patients often have very bad tempers during attacks, and in severe cases, may even engage in self-harm. We can soothe their irritable mood by singing or listening to music. Medical research has found that music can cause the human body to produce a molecule called dopamine, which can make the human body feel happy. Therefore, I think singing can be used as an auxiliary method to treat mental illness.
But not all patients with mental illness are suitable for this kind of music therapy. Nowadays, in medicine, there are many types of mental illnesses. For example, ADHD, depression, mania, etc. are all types of mental illness. The symptoms of each mental illness are different, so the corresponding treatments are also different.
There is a kind of mental illness that is not suitable for music therapy. This kind of mental illness is called anxiety disorder. When many patients with anxiety disorder have an attack, they feel that they are singing repeatedly, and they will sing the same song repeatedly, and they can't stop no matter what. If singing therapy is used at this time, not only will it not alleviate the patient's mental illness, but it will aggravate his condition. Therefore, when we treat mental illness, we must analyze specific problems in detail. Different treatments are used for different mental illnesses.
In fact, besides singing, there are many other ways to alleviate mental illness. For example, we can take ourselves a spontaneous trip. There are many patients with mental illness, and most of their psychological pressure comes from their lives and work. And traveling not only relaxes your body, but also relaxes your mind. We will discover many beautiful scenery and things during our travels. These will help patients with mental illness relieve their mental stress. In addition, we can also alleviate mental illness through dietary treatment, because delicious food can stimulate our appetite and quickly excite our brains.
