This topic is flawed because of stereotypes. Say you listen to emo, your immediatly going to be labelled as a wimpy, suicidal adolescent due to societies preconceptions - so its a case of self-fulfilling prophecy. If your treated and seen as this depressive, your going to react to their behaviour to fit their expections.
i personally think music is a catharsis . its a way in which we can safely release emotion. Of course the type of music and its lyrical content can alter a mood, but affect mental health in a more extensive manner? No, thats society.
