Music seems to be a good training against dementia and even seems to
protect against effects of Alzheimer's disease, OTOH a lot of disorders
are more often for artists, depressions, personality disorders, left vs
right cerebral hemisphere, IOW artists are more often left-hander,
dyslexics etc. and even while making music seems to protect against
dementia and effects of Alzheimer, musicians are more often addicted to
evil, life-endangering drugs, they are more often nerds etc., so the
resume seems to be that the pros come with contras². IMO the only real
pro of being a musician is to have fun, when making music and many of us
"suffer" from synesthesia, so we don't need drugs to experience what
most people only could experience when taking drugs.
