Music cause or symptom?

[Imsuchamess]

I have bipolar type scizoaffective so as you can imagine my moods are all over the place.

Well when I'm down I listen to depressive music.

When I'm up I listen to happy or angry music.

My question is do I choose these music because of how I feel? Or do I feel that way because of the music I chose?

It'll be the way you feel guiding your music choice. When I'm hypomanic I listen to dance music all the time. When I'm very depressed, dance music is torturous as it's too much noise.

Music enhances mood rather than causes it, I think.
