Sometimes when I'm really feeling down and the meds aren't helping, I'll fire up my computer, turn on the mp3 player and listen to music. I like classic rock (Molly Hatchet, Joe Walsh, Boston), the more upbeat the music, the better I like it. There are a lot of times when this helps pull me out of real bad fits of depression. Sometimes it helps me for hours, sometimes only for as long as I have the music on, sometimes not at all. I've been told that certain kinds of music fire certain receptors in the brain, I believe this is true.
Has anyone else benefitted from listening to music when depressed? I'd love to hear how it's helped you, and the types of music you like to listen to. Thanks.
Peace,
Greg
