Traditional music education on alleviating bipolar disorder in college students

Abstract

BackgroundWith the rapid development of society and the acceleration of people’s pace of life, the mental pressure of college students is increasing day by day, and bipolar disorder has become an important health problem they face. Traditional music education is regarded as an effective means of psychotherapy, which can alleviate emotional disorders. However, the current research on traditional music education in alleviating college students with bipolar disorder is still in the development stage, so this study attempts to explore the alleviating effect of traditional music education on college students with bipolar disorder.Subjects and MethodsThe study designed an experimental group to receive a six-month course of traditional music education and a control group to receive a six-month course of traditional psychotherapy. SPSS23.0 software was used for the correlation test, and P<0.05 indicated that the difference was statistically significant. Both groups of students were tested before and after, and their changes in several aspects were analyzed.ResultsThe experimental group showed significant improvement in the alleviation of affective disorder, the improvement of self-adjustment ability, and the alleviation of anxiety and depression symptoms, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). However, the improvement of the control group was relatively low, and there were still some difficulties in emotional expression and social ability.ConclusionsTraditional music education has a remarkable effect on alleviating bipolar disorder in college students, and it has a better effect than traditional psychotherapy. At the same time, it is of great significance to popularize and apply traditional music education in the field of college students’ mental health.
