Course overview

Emotional support animals (ESAs) serve meaningful functions to their owners. Currently, licensed mental health practitioners acknowledge the advantages of ESAs in the treatment of mental illness (McMichael & Singletary, 2021). Dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles all qualify as ESAs. The company of an ESA has a therapeutic impact on its owner. Individuals with mental health deterioration or psychiatric disease are comforted by the animal. Mental health specialists have observed significant improvements in people with mental illness after receiving emotional support from an animal. According to recent research, animals, particularly dogs, assist people in triggering neurotransmitters that promote happiness (McMichael & Singletary, 2021).
