“…Speci cally, our study suggests that supervised music sessions among peers, guided by skilled mental health staff, hold promise in helping participants manage their thoughts and alleviate anxiety-related symptoms. This aligns with earlier research demonstrating the anxiety-reducing and symptom-alleviating potential of group music engagement (33)(34)(35). Silvermann et al ( 36) suggest that even one single session of playing music together in a group can improve the mood state in a positive way for people with severe mental illness in an in-patient setting.…”

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that has lasting negative impact on functional level, and quality of life. While music therapy has shown promise in improving these areas, there is a lack of research exploring the impact of music programs led by mental health care professionals without formal music therapy training in the context of early intervention in psychosis. This study aimed to conduct a qualitative evaluation of a once weekly, 12-week, nurse-led music group, in the constellation of a band, offered as an adjunct to early intervention in young people with first-episode psychosis. The specific objectives were to explore social interaction and experiences of participants and instructors in relation to the music group and provide focus points for implementation in clinical practice. Method: The study utilized Interpretive Description, collecting data through participant observation (6 sessions x 1.5 hrs; 9 hrs in total), key informant interviews (n=1), and group (n=4) and email-based (n=2) interviews. The data was transcribed, thematized, and analyzed using NVivo12 and Interpretive Description inductive analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in three main themes: Practicalities of the music program, Restored identity, and Music as medicine reflecting the potential of the music group to contribute to a sense of non-patient identity, decreasing symptoms related to mental illness, foster social relationships and a feeling of belonging to a musical community. Conclusion: Participation in music groups can be a possible promoter of recovery. However, sustainability appears contingent on the skills and resources of the facilitator (i.e. nurse). Suggestions for a program theory and clinical implications are presented and discussed. Trial registration: This is a non-experimental study, and according to Danish law, registration is not required.

The Use of Music in the Treatment and Management of Serious Mental Illness: A Global Scoping Review of the Literature

et al. 2021

Mental and substance use disorders have been identified as the leading cause of global disability, and the global burden of mental illness is concentrated among those experiencing disability due to serious mental illness (SMI). Music has been studied as a support for SMIs for decades, with promising results; however, a lack of synthesized evidence has precluded increased uptake of and access to music-based approaches. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the types and quantity of research at intersections of music and SMIs, document evidentiary gaps and opportunities, and generate recommendations for improving research and practice. Studies were included if they reported on music's utilization in treating or mitigating symptoms related to five SMIs: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Eight databases were searched; screening resulted in 349 included studies for data extraction. Schizophrenia was the most studied SMI, with bipolar disorder studied the least. Demographics, settings, and activity details were found to be inconsistently and insufficiently reported; however, listening to recorded music emerged as the most common musical activity, and activity details appeared to have been affected by the conditions under study. RCTs were the predominant study design, and 271 unique measures were utilized across 289 primary studies. Over two-thirds of primary studies (68.5%) reported positive results, with 2.8% reporting worse results than the comparator, and 12% producing indeterminate results. A key finding is that evidence synthesis is precluded by insufficient reporting, widely varied outcomes and measures, and intervention complexity; as a result, widespread changes are necessary to reduce heterogeneity (as feasible), increase replicability and transferability, and improve understandings of mechanisms and causal pathways. To that end, five detailed recommendations are offered to support the sharing and development of information across disciplines.

“…For example, a 2018 meta-analysis by Geipel el al. found that music-based interventions reduced internalizing symptoms in children and adolescents; however, only one of five included trials investigated children with anxiety disorders, and no trial examined adolescents with anxiety symptoms [24].

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review is to examine the effectiveness of music therapy for adolescents and young adults with anxiety disorders. Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed in performing this systematic review. Studies published in the last 25 years from September 1997 to September 2022 were identified through the use of the Medline, PsycInfo, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases, using the keywords: music* AND anxi*. Two authors independently conducted a focused analysis and reached a final consensus on six studies that met the specific selection criteria and passed the study quality checks. Results: All six studies included showed significant improvement as measured by anxiety symptom severity measures for adolescents and young adults receiving music therapy. Conclusion: While music therapy has shown to be promising as a stand-alone or adjunctive treatment for anxiety disorders in adolescents and young adults, more research is needed to establish music therapy as an effective treatment.
