Is music therapy beneficial for managing anxiety and stress?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I empathize with your situation and understand that you may be dealing with an anxiety disorder, often related to an imbalance in serotonin and dopamine levels in the brain. Music therapy, especially classical Indian music, can positively impact these neurotransmitter levels, contributing to anxiety reduction. I also recommend you consider non-pharmacological approaches to manage anxiety. Here are some guidelines to follow:

1. Engage in daily exercises for 30-45 minutes, such as going for a walk.

2. Practice meditation for 20 minutes daily, focusing on your normal breathing.

3. Consume healthy, home-cooked meals, and avoid junk foods.

4. Ensure an adequate intake of water.

5. Spend quality time with friends and family, even if through video calls.

6. Cultivate creative hobbies like reading, journaling, painting, drawing, or learning new skills or languages.

7. Aim for seven to eight hours of sleep each night.

8. Avoid tobacco, alcohol, or any substance abuse.

9. Embrace life fully and confidently.

If your symptoms persist after diligently following these guidelines for 4 to 6 weeks, I would suggest you consider short-term medication.

Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
