Abstract
This study explores the effectiveness of music therapy in the healing process of patients with mental disorders, which frequently show up as violent behaviors, auditory hallucinations, anxiety, and difficulty communicating with others. This study analyzed secondary data from both national and international sources using a literature review method. The results revealed that music therapy significantly reduced violent behavior and auditory hallucinations experienced by patients with varying degrees of effectiveness influenced by gender and frequency of therapy sessions. Additionally, music therapy enhanced patients’ interactions with others, emotional control, and anxiety levels. Music therapy promoted interpersonal communication, emotional stability, and serenity, all of which enhanced quality of life and aided in the healing of mental health issues. Music therapy has become a valuable alternative treatment for mental health conditions.
