Quality of Life

You can thrive and enjoy life even though you have kidney disease. Look at the ways you can help determine how you view your life going forward. Determine if employment works for you as well as the benefits of staying active, your mental health, and staying socially connected with others.

The effects of music therapy, and music in general, have been studied as interventions to improve aspects of physical and mental health. Music has been shown to aid in relaxation, to lower blood pressure, to improve one’s mood, decrease symptoms of depression, and increase the feeling of well-being.

You may find that listening to music during dialysis treatments or participating in a drumming class or learning how to play a musical instrument benefit your quality of life.
