Como a música influencia a saúde mental | Inês Homem de Melo | TEDxPorto

NOTE FROM TED: This talk reflects only the speaker's personal interpretation and understanding of music therapy, which remains a long-standing field of study. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t... If we are so musical every day of our lives, how can we use music to benefit our health? This question lies precisely at the intersection of Inês Homem de Melo's two passions: music, as a singer, and medicine, as a psychiatrist. For some time she felt these areas were separate waters, but experience and a careful look have shown her that they are not at all, and that there is enormous therapeutic potential in music. She was born in 1991 at São João Hospital in Porto, the same hospital where she completed her medical degree in 2015. She works as a psychiatrist, and it is through music that she most enjoys listening to emotions and warding off ills. She studied opera singing and jazz singing at the Porto Music Conservatory. Passionate about travel, she is now also a world music singer. As a child, she dreamed of going to the Song Festival and was a finalist in 2022 with the song "Fome de Viagem" (Hunger for Travel). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format, but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
