Help with Anxiety
In addition to depression, pet therapy can also help you control your anxiety. Many dogs are specially trained to help some people with this condition perform normal tasks with ease. For instance, the animal would bring drugs or water so that you can alleviate an anxiety attack. Also, it would bring the phone so that you could immediately call a doctor for help in emergency cases. Some service dogs can even provide tactile stimulation by licking the face and disrupting your emotional overload. All of these helpful acts can be important, especially when you live alone without friends or family. [10]
