 Anxiety and Depression



​Please also look at pages for PTSD, Child/Adolescents and Addiction for additional studies that report significant improvements in anxiety and depression.   Several works that study multiple effects are listed with one condition or population, such as adolescents or addiction, but still include evidence of group percussion improving mood states including anxiety and depression.
