> when I get depressed i lose intrest in life.. and I never turn on my music. When I wanna lift my mood I put on rap and dance. When Im in a good mood Ill listen to anything, even country because I find it funny. When Im hopeless I turn on something that says things are going to get easier. I turn on tupac "keep ya head up".
> When I have no motovation I turn on Outkast "git up, git out" Thats a very good song for me!!!!!That's pretty interesting, that you use music to improve your mood, even when you don't really feel inclined to listen to it. It's a bit like getting out and socializing when you really don't want to, but because you know it helps.
Anyone know of any research proving the benefit of music for relieving depression? Perhaps it activates part of the brain that raises mood.
