Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of various music therapy methods in alleviating academic anxiety and depression among college students by conducting a comprehensive review and analysis of relevant literature. The results indicate that music therapy, as a psychological intervention, has shown significant effects in reducing academic anxiety and depression among college students. The music therapy not only effectively lowers anxiety levels and alleviates depressive symptoms but also enhances students' self-confidence, promoting their healthy and happy growth. Additionally, the study highlights future research directions and challenges. Although music therapy has achieved significant results in alleviating academic anxiety and depression among college students, further investigation is needed into its long-term effects and mechanisms, as well as its combination with other psychological intervention methods. Moreover, the personalized design and optimization of music therapy for college students with different cultural backgrounds, personality types, and levels of academic pressure deserve in-depth research.
