I am curious: what are the real health benefits of listening to music? I know some songs make me feel happy; others are frustrating. Is there some science behind music and health?

Do you use music to help yourself heal, either physically or mentally? If so, I'd love to hear how!

And...any specific type of music that is "healthier" than others, or does it just depend on the individual?
