Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSDs) are specially trained to assist individuals with mental health conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. These dogs are more than just companions—they’re trained to perform tasks that directly mitigate the effects of their handler’s psychiatric disability.

PSDs vs. ESAs: What’s the Difference?

Unlike Emotional Support Animals, PSDs undergo specific training to perform tasks that help with their owner’s psychiatric condition. This can include grounding during anxiety attacks, reminding their handler to take medication, or even waking them from nightmares. Understanding the distinction between PSDs and ESAs is crucial for knowing your rights and responsibilities.
