Service Dog Travel
What Are Psychiatric Service Dogs?
Psychiatric service dogs (PSDs) are specially trained dogs that provide crucial support to individuals living with mental health conditions. These conditions may include depression, anxiety attacks, PTSD, bipolar disorder, agoraphobia, and other less-visible disabilities.
As awareness and understanding of mental health conditions grow, many individuals are turning to alternative therapies, including assistance animals like psychiatric service dogs. While most people are familiar with guide dogs for individuals with physical impairments, psychiatric service dogs provide essential support for those with less visible disabilities.
