Mental health struggles have become part of everyday life for many of us, and we're increasingly searching for approaches to healing that go beyond medication alone. In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research from Yale University showing how music-making may help reduce paranoia, hallucinations, and social isolation in people experiencing psychosis. Even if you've never encountered psychosis firsthand, this fascinating conversation offers powerful insights into how music shapes the brain, strengthens human connection, and may hold untapped potential for mental health and healing.
