Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a classical piano music therapy on the level of depression in patients with mild to moderate depressive symptoms. The study was conducted on four groups of random patients, who underwent Beck Depression Inventory surveys on a monthly basis. A significant, 1.5-2.0-fold (p = 0.001), drop in the mean depression score was found in patients after exposure to classical piano music therapy. Listening to classical music is recommended as a means of treatment for mild depressive disorders and as an additional therapy for patients with moderate depression.

The major challenges posed by this disease are that it is difficult to found in its early stages (SULLIVAN et al 2018) and that it may result in an act of suicide (BRADT et al, 2016)

Summary
The ever-accelerating pace of society development places increasing demands on individuals (WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION, 2018). A prolonged exposure to stress can eventually provoke the development of a broad range of diseases, from physical to mental (NGUYEN et al, 2011; HO et al, 2015). A depressive disorder is one of the most common mental conditions (MIASKOWSKI et al, 2017) that is latent and manifests itself more frequently in people as they become older (SANDADI et al, 2011). In recent years, this condition has been increasingly diagnosed in individuals aged between 10 and 20 years (SULLIVAN et al, 2017). The major challenges posed by this disease are that it is difficult to found in its early stages (SULLIVAN et al 2018) and that it may result in an act of suicide (BRADT et al, 2016)
