Episode Synopsis

When Good Music Goes Bad? The Surprising Psychology of Over-ListeningWe all know music can lift your spirits—but can too much of a good thing mess with your mental health? In this episode, we unpack five recent studies exploring the double-edged sword of music and mental health. From emotional rumination and music addiction to neural overstimulation and sad-song spirals, we explore how listening habits can either heal or harm. With fresh research on music and depression, dopamine desensitization, and adolescent mental health, this episode hits more than just the right notes—it asks the tough questions.Keywords: music and mental health, music therapy, sad music, rumination, dopamine, music addiction, overstimulation, emotional regulation, neuroscience of music
