As a music teacher, I have a strong interest in the many positives aspects of music. One of them is the potential to act as an agent of therapy. A recent journal from the Schizophrenic Society mentions two young people who have been able to use music to help them work through some of their issues concerning schizophrenia. One of the young people was not able to return to his musical studies but was able to use music as a primary focus to help with his symptoms. He suggests that for some schizophrenic who are not able to play music just listening would help.
Another young person was able to return to her studies and complete a degree.
These examples also show that this illness has a spectrum which is what makes it hard to deal with.
Hopefully, music will help others.
