Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of a music therapy program in adolescents aged 13-18 years old with emotional difficulties, primarily depression and possibly concurrent diagnoses of anxiety.

The main questions are:

* What recruitment methods, barriers, and facilitators influence study participation among adolescents with emotional difficulties receiving music therapy in the present study?
* Does music therapy contribute to a significant reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms, inclusive concomitant symptoms?
* How do adolescents with emotional disorders perceive participation in music therapy, and how do they articulate its potential impacts on their health and well-being?

Participants will be invited to participate in a music therapy program, in addition to standard treatment given (TAU). They meet individually in the clinic with a professional music therapist once a week over a period of ten weeks. They will also do musical home exercises between the sessions. Psychiatric interviews and clinical assessments will be conducted before treatment. Assessments and questionnaires will be performed right after the therapy program and three months after ended therapy. There will also be conducted qualitative interviews with a subgroup of the participants.
