It is different from everyday mood swings and is an ongoing health condition that requires professional treatment.

Persistent low mood

Feelings of persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that you once enjoyed.

Physiological Changes

Significant weight changes (gain or loss), insomnia or excessive sleepiness, persistent fatigue.

Cognitive Patterns and Self-Perception

Trouble concentrating, indecisiveness, recurring feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt.

A persistent feeling of emptiness, irritability or anxiety, and feeling numb to everything.

Therapeutic Mechanisms

Neurotransmitter Regulation

Specific music frequencies and rhythms can promote the release of dopamine and serotonin, help improve neurotransmitter imbalance, and enhance positive emotions.

Cognitive restructuring (CBT)

Incorporating the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), it helps patients identify and challenge negative thought patterns through lyric analysis and music creation.

Physiological Rhythm Synchronization

Modulates HPA axis function, regulates breathing and heart rate variability (HRV) through biofeedback, reduces cortisol levels, and relieves somatization symptoms.

• Real Cases

Vision-Guided MDD Case Library

The following shows representative cases of three groups of mild/moderate/severe depression, illustrating how AI converts image clues into graded music support solutions.

Step 1 · User Image Upload

Step 2 · AI Analysis & Intervention Strategy

Mild

Mild MDD: Case 1

User profile:Tanaka (pseudonym), 24 years old.

Diagnostic status:Depression (MDD)/mild.

Input image:After the early morning rain, "green leaves and window sills are stained with dew."

Image element analysis:The tender green and morning white + the foreground of the window frame and the shadow of the trees in the distance transform into a brisk Acoustic Folk.

Healing logic:For lack of motivation and mild depression in the morning, the mid-tempo beat of 60-70 BPM and breathing guitar chords are used to help awaken the willingness to take action and daily vitality.

Moderate

Moderate MDD: Case 5

User profile:Suzuki (pseudonym), 26 years old.

Diagnostic status:Depression (MDD) / Moderate.

Input image:A stormy sea with a single beam of light breaking through.

Image element analysis:Deep indigo contrasts with gold + wavy textures and vertical beams of light, translating into Ambient Post-Rock.

Healing logic:In response to repeated emotions and self-doubt, a structure of first suppressing and then rising is used to help users gradually perceive a sense of hope and connection after resonating with the same frequency.

Severe MDD: Case 9

User profile:Kato (pseudonym), 20 years old.

Diagnostic status:Depression (MDD)/severe.

Input image:"Weak candle" on a completely black background.

Image element analysis:Extreme black with a touch of salmon + extreme focus, transforming into Minimalist Meditation.

Healing logic:For high despair and stimulus sensitivity, "subtractive therapy" and low-intrusion companionship are used to prioritize stabilizing the sense of security and basic emotional baseline.

• Family & Peer Support

How to Support A Loved One with Depression?

Your understanding and companionship are important forces in recovery. Don’t try to “fix” them, but walk alongside them.

  • 1

    Listen rather than judge

    Say "I'm here with you" instead of "Just cheer up." Acknowledge that their pain is real.

  • 2

    Encourage small steps forward

    Acknowledge every small effort, like getting out of bed, taking a shower, or taking a walk. Don't apply pressure.

  • 3

    Watch for Suicide Warning Signs

    If you discover that a friend or relative is having suicidal thoughts or plans, seek professional help immediately and do not keep it a secret.
