Abstract

According to the latest statistics from the World Health Organization, an estimated 3.8% of the population experiences depression. Approximately 280 million people in the world suffer from depression. Among them, about 70% to 80% of patients with depression are accompanied by sleep disorders. Sleep disorders often cause symptoms such as emotional instability, memory loss, reduced immunity, and increased blood pressure. Music therapy is a non-invasive alternative therapy for relieving depressive symptoms. Unlike antidepressants and psychotherapy, it has no obvious side effects or adverse reactions, making it easier for patients to adhere to. It is also an inexpensive treatment option that requires minimal time and energy. As a result, music therapy has become more popular in the field of antidepressant therapy. Sleep disorders are one of the most common manifestations in patients with depression, and music has a certain impact on sleep, so it is of great significance to explore the impact of music on the sleep of patients with depression. This paper summarized the music therapy on people with depression and found that music therapy would improve their sleep quality and decrease their anxiety level and depression.
