With a BP episode, I think (know! Lol) it's mostly a reinforcer (lol, "Match-A-Mood", if you will) of a current state (like what gina_re talks about) and though it might, say as in the case of mild to moderate depression, provide some transient easing of symptoms (ie., it might make me feel not quite so bad for awhile), but it's not going to bring me out of an actual episode.
Same here.

Perhaps I was coming out of an episode or just had mild to moderate depression, but it did really get me going, took my mind of the problem and into the song.
I can also see and agree with Gina re post too. Sometimes I do like listening to dark rock metal when I'm angry and upbeat music did nothing to change that mood.
Maybe it is 50/50 or on a milder case.
