The impact of music and meditation on anxiety symptoms in students
Scholarly Review Journal March 15, 2025 Ryan Qi
This paper reviews current literature on anxiety disorders, their causes, types, typical therapies, and comorbidities, noting gaps in knowledge about comorbidity complexities and alternative therapies such as music- and meditation-based interventions. The author presents an original case study investigating high school students' anxiety levels during music-containing and music-free guided meditations. The research confirms the need for continued study of anxiety complications and supports directing funding to a wider range of resources.
