The effect of music on the human stress response

[willie33]

When I am feeling down, I listen to hard rock/heavy metal, also. Some of the angriest and saddest songs make me feel better, especially if I sing along with lyrics. Nobody wants to picture that...

It’s strange how that would help with depression, but for me it does. I don’t feel angry or aggressive, but maybe my anger has turned into depression. It helps me to vent my sadness, though.

Thanks for the article.
