The psychology of music is a discipline that deals with the effects of music on the human body and mind. One way music impacts the human mind is that it improves cognitive performance. A study showcases that background music, without lyrics in general, can help older adults be more productive and efficient in their cognitive tasks. Another study showcased that upbeat music can help people process and retain information faster and improve a person's memory. Music therapy is also used to treat and help people with dementia, stroke, or Parkinson's. Music helps relieve some of the depression and anxiety symptoms patients may encounter. Studies suggest that classical and meditation music is mainly used to alleviate symptoms as other music such as techno or heavy metal could cause more damage than they do good.
