Essay 3 2nd Draft

Music is a strong instrument used in today's modern world, preventing mental health

issues from getting any worse or to alleviate pre-existing mental disorders. Many individuals

from all types of ages and backgrounds suffer from poor mental health, thus leading them to see

some sort of doctor for medication to alleviate their mental health. However, they haven’t

realized the best medicine one could take is music, while preventing the use of prescribed

medicine and having to spend money. It is used as a form of free therapy to enhance and improve

mental health and exterminate all the negative thinking accumulated. There are several types of

genres used as a form of therapy that can inspire individuals to do better while under pressure.

This is clear when surgeons are undergoing surgery on their patients and concentrating, or while

a student is nervously studying for an exam trying to grasp as much as possible. One thing is for

certain that music is such a common essential in the modern world that it could never be

destroyed and still be a use of help to many generations ahead.
