Emotional Support Animals (ESA)

[Total Eclipse 86]

Interactions with animals can have many benefits on human functioning. In terms of physiology, interacting with animals can increase the release of chemicals that improve mood, while decreasing chemicals associated with the stress response.

ESAs can also help reduce specific or circumstantial anxieties, such as social phobia, or more generalized anxiety in day-to-day life. They do this by offering a sense of stability when a person is entering a new environment, situation or circumstance known to increase anxiety. ESAs can help individuals develop a sense of connection while creating a warm and safe environment.

In the United States when getting a prescription from your doctor you have pet fee's waived at your apartment complex as the animal is a emotional support aid.
