Music has the power to heal those struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, and many other forms of mental health disorders. It has also proven valuable for people with memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. 

Music therapy helps people express emotion, and, as mentioned in “Alive Inside,” it can help heal neurons in the brain, leading people to live a more expressive and full life.

 “Don’t be afraid to express yourself. Music is a powerful coping skill and can bring out the deepest thoughts and emotions out of someone,” Domingue said.
