Vocal and/or instrumental sounds combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony and expression of emotion is music. Brain, mind and music are remarkably related to each other and music has got a strong impact on psychiatry. With the advent of music therapy, as an efficient form of alternative therapy in treating major psychiatric conditions, this impact has been further strengthened. In this review, we deliberate upon the historical aspects of the relationship between psychiatry and music, neural processing underlying music, music's relation to classical psychology and psychopathology and scientific evidence base for music therapy in major psychiatric disorders. We highlight the role of Indian forms of music and Indian contribution to music therapy.
声乐和/或器乐以一种能够产生形式美、和声和情感表达的方式结合在一起就是音乐。大脑、思维和音乐之间有着显著的联系,音乐对精神病学有很大的影响。随着音乐治疗作为一种治疗主要精神疾病的有效替代疗法的出现,这种影响进一步得到了加强。在这篇综述中,我们详细讨论了精神病学和音乐之间关系的历史方面、音乐的神经处理过程、音乐与经典心理学和精神病理学的关系以及音乐治疗在主要精神障碍中的科学证据基础。我们强调了印度音乐形式的作用和印度对音乐治疗的贡献。
