Music. How much of it exists on the planet ... And each musical direction has its fans. Which of us did not freeze at least once in our life from a melody we heard from childhood or from a new virtuoso musical piece? Let's talk today about the effect of music on a person. And at the same time we will find out what the dependence on music is called, and by what signs it can be understood that a person really needs to listen to it constantly.
Music is needed
There is no need to be afraid that something is wrong with you if the musical accompaniment performed by your favorite band has become frequent while you yourself are doing some kind of work. Perhaps your music is very rhythmic and helps you get things done quickly. Instead of looking for what is called addiction to music, just do your thing and enjoy it.
Favorite compositions help to feel joy, so use this property! Most likely, you are a normal person and will soon overhear it and be satisfied. Then a certain musical saturation will come, and the need to listen to these very compositions will surely go away.
What is music addiction called?
While listening to music in the brain, a certain hormone, dopamine, is produced. This hormone of pleasure is the culprit of all human affections and preferences. He is also responsible for our immeasurable love for delicious products or good books. Dopamine governs all human pleasures. The hormone that uplifts the sound of your favorite track contributes to an improved quality of work. The problem of the influence of music on humans is currently being studied by scientists from different countries.
However, the human body is not very easy to "make out" on the shelves in psychological terms. Inexperienced in such sciences, an ordinary person who loves loud and aggressive rock or calm and relaxing music with the sounds of nature does not really really care what great scientific minds came up with there. There is only him and music.
Some people are literally ready to sleep on the headphones - and sleep. And they walk along the street to music, and in addition to household chores to music, they can engage in more complex actions that require increased concentration. If these lovers of tunes "cut off" the path to music, they can begin very unpleasant conditions. What is called the dependence on music and how it manifests, we now find out. A music lover is a familiar word to everyone, and maybe the symptoms are familiar?
