With the rising pace of life and daily stress, anxiety disorders have become one of the most common problems in our society. Nowadays there’s awareness of the high presence of the so-called "under treatment" of anxiety and depressive disorders, and those who do receive some kind of treatment, these are usually not entirely effective in lightening the symptoms. On the other hand, music is a self-curative pattern that humanity has been using since immemorial times for helping to eliminate tensions, lack of affection and all kinds of emotions, express joy through dance, pain of death through funeral marches, tenderness in lullabies, love in romantic songs, courage in warrior dances, etc. Music could be helpful in individuals with anxiety and depression to perceive and maintain their own identity or most positive sense of himself and increase the level of happiness and their mood directly related to the feeling of wellbeing. This study intends to confirm the efficacy of music therapy as a nurse intervention in the care of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
