Researchers at the University of East Anglia studied participants in a local singing group whose participants had previously been treated for mental health issues.
Researchers found that these participants had decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Professor Tom Shakespeare said, “We found that singing as part of a group contributes to people’s recovery from mental health problems.”
“We heard the participants calling the initiative a ‘life saver’ and that it ‘saved their sanity.’ Others said they simply wouldn’t be here without it, they wouldn’t have managed – so we quickly began to see the massive impact it was having,” added Shakespeare.
