- Abstract
To investigate the musical potential in the human brain as a therapeutic tool in mental disorders. A systematic review was carried out with a search and selection of studies via Scielo, PubMed, Capes and VHL, relating music therapy to mental disorders. For the search, publications in the period 2015 to 2020, in Portuguese or English. Eleven articles were evaluated. Music therapy has an increasing prominence in psychopathological management, having different therapeutic applications, increasing self-perception and self-realization, reducing anxiety, depression, and negative affect. Brain changes were evidenced with an increase in insular functional connectivity in schizophrenics and an increase in gray matter in Tinnitus. In addition, music therapy improved the behavioral response and interpersonal relationships of institutionalized elderly people with dementia and patients with autism spectrum disorder. Music therapy shows strong therapeutic potential in mental disorders, inducing psychophysiological and cognitive-behavioral changes, being an effective, non-invasive, and low-cost therapy.
