Popis:	The purpose of the research is to investigate the effect of listening to light and heavy music on reducing the symptom of depression. The participants in this study were 30 female students with depressive disorder. They were randomly assigned to three groups: (1) Experiment group receiving light music; (2) Experiment group receiving heavy music; (3) Control group. The results showed that participants in both experimental groups reported decreased levels of depression. The experiment groups, after 14 sessions, had significantly lower scores on the Beck Depression Inventory in comparison with the two other groups (p = 0.05). Music can be used therapeutically for reducing the symptoms of depressive disorder in psychiatric hospitals or individually, and it benefits the nurse.
