A Pregnant Fermata...

Medical News Today discusses a study showing that listening to soothing music 30 minutes a day lowers stress and anxiety (among other benefits) during pregnancy. (Read here)


"The music group showed significant reductions in stress, anxiety and depression after just two weeks, using three established measurement scales"

"Our study shows that listening to suitable music provides a simple, cost-effective and non-invasive way of reducing stress, anxiety and depression during pregnancy. "


I wonder if the same effects can be found in the general public or in people who suffer from depression or anxiety. Maybe doctors will soon be prescribing a half hour of The Drone Zone every night before bed...
