A psychiatric disability can affect your mental, emotional, and physical well being. This diagnosis can range anywhere from panic disorder, Depression, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. A trained Psychiatric Service Dog can assist in alleviating pain or limitations caused by their handler's disability. These dogs are able to create a calming presence for their handler, and they can often help relieve feelings of anxiety or emotionally disabling symptoms. These dogs can interrupt repetative behaviors, provide tactile stimulation to disrupt overload, and other personalized tasks. 

In order to qualify for a Psychiatric Service Dog you must meet the criteria defined by the Americans With Disabilities Act as mental impairments.
