Music therapy is a promising area for both physical and mental health conditions. Its impact on stress and even cancer is well-studied. However, its usefulness in other mental health areas is relatively under-studied and diffused. Hence, this paper reviews findings about the extent of music therapy in treatment of autism spectrum disorder, depression and dementia. For the former, music therapy is most helpful in improving social and communication skills. In clients with depression, such interventions can improve sense of self and help form engaging relationships. Additionally, communication through music is often easier for those who have dementia. It also improves their behaviour, mood, and acts as a non-pharmacological treatment for eliciting memories. Thus, the addition of such interventions in treatments for certain mental health conditions can help improve the prognosis. This review shows that music therapy is an area with scope for future research and mental health treatments.
