Music effects the chemical balance of our minds. It is a highly emotional form of communication.
Hard core, hard rock, punk, hard alternative take you to highs and lows in your mood. Hip hop also increases your excitement
level. All of this regularly can effect your emotions as well as the dopamine
level in your mind. Music can be one of the factors behind bipolar disorder or ADHD, as well as depression. See Book by Doctor
Joel Robertson-Prozac Backlash for a detailed explanation of how music effects chemical imbalances.
By mellowing out in our taste in music, toning down the intensity and quantity, it can positively
effect our mental health.
