I love this song, but I'm also surprisingly high energy so if I was raw or already really anxious I might just turn the sound off. Definitely no criticism or suggestions for corrections to the creator on my part however
LOL I was thinking the same thing, "this background music is going to give me an anxiety attack!" No hard feelings towards the creator of the video as I really appreciate the information in the video.
I have a service dog for depression and anxiety, and I love him so much! His name is Tucker, and my school finally gave me permission to have him at the school. Honestly he makes my school days 100x better.
if you don’t mind me asking, do you have severe anxiety and depression as i’m trying to figure out what kind of passes for you to be allowed a service dog :) i’d be too anxious to bring my dog to school due to the attention but i really wish i had someone to help me through attacks like a dog
@magical cherrybean Did you get you're service dog trained by a professional or did you train you're dog yourself? Also how did you go about getting you're dog register as a service dog whom did you go to get the dog officially registered?
@magical cherrybean sorry for the confusion, Im trying to get my dog trained to be a service dog and I didn't know if they had to pass something or if there was any paperwork you have to fill out for them to have the title of a service dog?
@@Zara_Beth the anxiety or depression would have to be as bad as disabling u. Like u wouldn't be able to go through your life withought one. And service dogs r usually the LAST resort. There r so many other things u can try before getting a SD. like therapy and medication. and then at the same time don't mistake a SD for a emotional support.
My dog supports me when I cry. She usually stays by my bed every night. She a very good dog. She loves to be loved. Sometimes I feel like she is the only one that understands me.
I feel guilty for wanting one, mostly because my illiness is something you cannot see. But if I am not with close people, or family in public I'm horrifed. My family already worries about me at home with my depression, an animal to comfort me and keep me safe would work well. Espically with the fact that when I am alone at night/early morning, I am very anxious. For some reason I obsess over the thought of someone coming to murder me, that something is in the closet and I have to check, etc. That's just the basics of my mental disorders. Does anyone think I should get one?
Lunar Bunny yes you should definitely get a psd. I think it would benefit you a lot but you might want to find a professional trainer so trainer a dog yourself isn't overwhelming for you.
Please talk to a doctor before even thinking about getting a service dog. :/ and it's not like you get a dog and call it a service dog. It takes up alot of time and money. It usually takes up to 2-3 year's to fully train one as well.
I just thought that I should add that emotional support animals are different than service dogs and do not have public access. They require a doctors note and are only allowed to fly on airplanes, live in places with dog restrictions, and accompany their owner at hotels. Where service dogs can do those things and accompany their handlers in public places like restaurants and stores.
My granddaughter has an ESA that is federally registered. She has PTSD. her dog can and does have federal rights to enter all public vendors and can travel air/water... Her dog is tagged with her registration # on tags, collar, vest and leash. on the leash is a window for the ID card. With the federal law code# and federal 1-800#.. it states, no federally registered ESA can be refused excess or denied. Under this code# it is a federal and state crime against the ESA .Anyone that denies access can and will be fined and prosecuted under the federal and state law. So, you know we have one ESA and one ESA/Service dog. both are protected by law on a federal and state level. The registration last a lifetime, and. .. it includes, if, the animal is harmed, kidnapped, neglected, abused. Such individuals will be prosecuted under the federal law to the fullest extent. I know this information first hand, I have the registration in a frame along with ID cards in my wallet.
I wanted too add, pet fee's for hotels are not to be charged for the ESA/Service dog. Under the fair housing, Service/ESA can not denied boarding nor, charged a pet fee. These work dog's are considered agents. To aquire a legal registration # the dog has to pass a series of tests. But, again. ESA & SERVICE Dog's are heavily protected under law and can enter any place public, they cannot or, the owner cannot be legally charged for a space for the animal to sit. ( travel reference). The owner can sit anywhere in a restaurant. movie theater, ect.. normally, the vest will state "Do not pet, Animal at work"/ ESA DOG or, SERVICE DOG. the collars, vest are normally red for alert. AND, under the federal and state law. No owner has to show ANY documentation of why the dog is deemed an ESA or, Service animal. This is a violation under the hippa law. privacy act. of the owner, the only letter you mentioned is a letter by a doctor for the registration process. Not for the general public knowledge.
I've had anxiety for 7 years and have been depressed for 1 1/2 years. I feel like a service dog can benefit me...I can't do group activities at school, most days it's hard for me to attend
Poke And The Glace it’s her doctors choice and her parents not yours you don’t know if her anxiety is really disabling technically anxiety isn’t a disability
@dia clinical depression is what I was told my problem was once. I am looking at dogs, too. I see this comment is 2 years old now, but I hope you get the message. There are other people with clinical depression.
While I do like this video, I think that it is up to the handler on whether or not they allow people to pet their dog while working. And also, doing laundry and bringing a phone, as well as med reminders aren't tasks that would hold up in court for a SD for depression. There's a fine line for that.
True! I am currently in the process of applying for a psychiatric service dog, and unless it is strongly discouraged by the trainers who worked with my dog, I plan to have patches that say "ask before you pet". That way, I'm not forbidding people from coming up to me (I love dogs too and understand some people don't mean any harm), but I'm also specifying that you have to ask and can't just start petting or talking to my dog.
I know this is an old comment but I just have to respond, YES, it is a very fine line, this video is just as confusing as the ADA. the fact that a person with anxiety /depression can use a service dog but people with the same issues are told their dog is just an ESA is ridiculous. It is all the same thing. A comfort dog is not allowed into public places but a service dog is? My dog does the same tasks that these service dogs are shown doing. How am I supposed to make people understand she IS a service dog? I am disabled by all of my mental issues and have been receiving SSDI for it. Still I get people telling me I don't have service dog status. I don't get it. I need her to function.
I feel really guilty that I want one but the thing is, is that if I don't know someone I get very bad anxiety especially if a guardian is not there. And when I am alone at night and early in the morning I just this feeling that someone is coming to slaughter me. Especially when I'm not at home. Sometimes if I need to go to the bathroom at night or early in the morning I HAVE to hold it in. And if I don't then I stay in the bathroom until I feel safe enough to come out. My dad never really pays attention to me so he doesn't ever notice.
I feel I'd benefit from one (im not describing what I have) but I don't know how to tell my parents and my doctor.. I'm 13 years old. my mum always thinks that I'm fine and talking to a counsellor would make it better.. talking to someone about my issues only makes it worse for me but she just doesn't listen.. she keeps saying "yeah I used to have exactly what you get.. try deep breathing" I try that every single day and it has never helped me.. I get like 3 average panic attacks a day and an average of 10 heart palpitations a day.. it's gotten to the point where I'm too scared to leave my house thus my attendance to school is decreasing.. I also wished I was home schooled but I just don't know how to talk to my mum about a physciatric service dog.. do you have any advice.. also I don't know how to tell my mum that every time I go out or go to school, I have suicide thoughts and try to peel my skin off by scratching myself
@@not_it2749 I try to but I don't know how to bring up the conversations.. it always goes to my mum talking to her so I don't really get a word in.. also I don't know how my mum would react aswell..
I wish the UK would accept service dogs for ppl with anxiety and panic attacks. I can't leave house on my own yet my dog helps me but still has impact on my life bcos we can't o into shops etc so I'm very restricted to what I can do. :/
Honestly, if my family believed me on my anxiety, I would love to get my own dog trained to be a sd or an esd, but none of them believe how bad my anxiety and depression are. I can't even get the motivation to start training her myself... Though, she's picked up on a few things just by watching me. Now she'll often come up to me if I'm visibly upset and just stand there until I pet her. Other times she just watches me closely if I'm crying and gets me to actually talk to her. Edit: I have been diagnosed with severe depression and a panic disorder. My dads also taken me off of medication without any professional advice on it and has stopped taking me to a therapist for money reasons. So if you're gonna hate on me, at least do it knowing that this is debilitating for me.
I have severe depression and occasionally have anxiety attacks, I recently moved aways for home and it's been really hard, I was wondering if you think that it would be beneficial for someone like me to have a service animal?
not a service dog, you need an ESA dog. (emotional support animal). a service dog is for physical disability, such as seizures, blindness, strokes, heart condition, ect. they are trained to protect their owner and even brake falls. emotional service dog's are trained to calm an individual. normally, a ESA can sense 15 minutes before, an attack happens in the owner. A ESA has to bond with the owner in every situation, this animal sleeps, eats, pretty much is your shadow. I've trained both ESA and Service dog's. best dog for your needs would be an Olde English Bulldogge. They are very intuitive, loving and devoted to there owner. they are indoor dog's. weigh about 30 to 60 pounds, I suggest these breed for the massive factor, when you're have an emotional moment, their weigh against you will comfort. they are not to large for a bed buddy,.. registered ESA or not, a dog will give you a feeling of security and being. I suggest get a dog, look into a rescue that has this breed and skip puppy months. An older dog is more settled, look into a three year old. Good luck!
skip down to the comment "N" 2 below your comment. I added ESA information on this comment. I highly suggest, a rescue near you for a rescue dog. most breeders ask three times the amount for a good dog. most dog's in a rescue are animals older people can't afford to feed or, ppl moving into apartments or, no dog zones. don't overlook a possible good animal in a rescue. take your time in looking and let the dog come to you, if, the dog comes to you. he or, she is willingly bonding with you. make sure,... if, you select the breed I suggested. it's nose isn't to flat... this can cause the animal breathing issues. note: feed you dog a good quality food without red dyes. you don't want a gasy dog ..Iams is want I use. again, good luck! be blessed and smile!
Shocking Ember What the other comment or said is false you may qualify for a service dog. Because they exist for mental disabilities. In your case a service dog for you could do deep presure therapy, alert to anxiety attacks, exit you to a location turn on off lights and so on. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I have a service dog for mental disabilities.
I'm in the middle of training my French bulldog to be a service dog. I have two other dogs but my Sheba was bought to train to be a service dog. I'm 52 got the letter from 2 doctor's for my ptsd, fainting, panic attacks. My daughter an husband died within a year of each other an the symptoms I've had my whole life got 10 x worse. Having Sheba by my side has made the symptoms not as frequent. If I'm having night terrors she clicks on small nightlight next to bed an wakes me up. I love her.
My pup has helped me so much in the past year from school work to preventing panic attacks and telling me when I need to sit down if I get too anxious. He also preforms dpt when im not at home and don't have my weighted blanket with me
mattia dizard This person can't qualify for a service dog. So she takes her pet and calls it a service dog. Then she quit taking her medication and quit counseling. The ADA law is so badly written that anyone without morals and can lie can legally call their pet a service dog. Nothing can be done about it!!!
Roy Marable you know nothing about this person? plenty of people owner train and they could have gotten the okay from their doctor you pretentious fuck.
My sister has panic attacks and her dog (we didn't train him) my sister tends to curl up into a ball during these panic attacks so we will tell her dog "mum is upset and needs you!" And he will go running and start licking her face and trying to get her out of the ball, and sometimes will take her hand and try removing her from the area, he's amazing and can easily calm her down within minutes
I get major social anxiety, whenever one stranger walks passed me, I want to pass out or have a heart attack and whenever seeing a crowd in a shopping mall, my heart like stops and then starts beating again as if I were going to collapse on the floor and I do get regular panic attacks... however my mum won't let me get a service dog to help me in public
Have u try talking to a therapist? Or makeing a slide show? Maybe try calculate all the Prices of everything that could help? And I'm struggling with similar issues to if u need anyone to talk to I'm here :)
I need an emotional support dog, the problem is that half off the time I need it is when I'm in school. School is where most of my panic attacks and anxiety and depression are from...
ESA'S Have no public rights at all! besides no pet housing and airplanes but both require doctor notes. Service dog's are different between ESA's while service dog's have full public rights ESA's have 0% rights unless the store is pet friendly. ( Tractor supply, petsmart, petco, Petplace etc. )
@@HerShenanigans actually in the ada law it states that you can bring your esa to school or work IF your school or job is ok with it. But that is very rare
Ap Ibarra i know that Lol. I’m just saying schools do not have to abide by the ADA when it comes to emotional support animals. They can legally and 100% deny an emotional support animal VS a services animal
Train them to do all the task to help you. And to behave in public. (start off with dog friendly). It is easier with a puppy. There are lab mutt puppies in shelters that are actually just as good as breeder ones.
Also make sure to decide if a service dog is good for you because in some cases it can actually make your disability work and in order to even get a service dog or train one yourself you must talk to your doctor first
I’ve been struggling with doing simple tasks and I’ve thought about a service dog but my family can’t afford to get one bc we already have two dogs that cost a lot of money and we also have lots of other problems that prevent us from being able to get one
I have severe anxiety, It often stops me from doing normal things such as ordering food, talking to people, and being around people. I tend to get emotional and want to break down, I feel highly panicked when im by myself and it's affected me. When I get panic attacks they get worse everytime and almost always happen when im outside, in school, and anywhere near someone. My panic attacks gotten to the point where I find it extremely hard to breathe and I hyperventilate alot, it got so bad to where I had to get taken out of class by an ambulance. Idk if I need a service dog for it or what to do.
I have both moderate anxiety and depression, and I don't feel like a need a service dog since I don't get anxiety attacks, sometimes I do get anxious or nervous but I can handle it, but I would like a dog, it would be better having it and when feeling bad it could be with me, it could serve as something to be distracted and I love dogs, I always wanted one
My teen age daughter is bipolar and struggles with some pretty bad days with anxiety and panic attacks. Since her room is her sanctuary she asked if she could get a chinchilla, we already have a dog but he is not a service dog,. Just watching him run around and go crazy laughing at some of his craziness like pop Corning and jumping on the side of the walls when he is in his ex-large playpen he will even play with our border collie. So he has been labeled a service animal and she will bring him to school when her anxiety is at it's worse.
A service Animal (dog OR somethimes a miniture horse) must be able to preform tasks related to the disability. If the animal only provides emotional support then they are not considered a service animal but an emotional support animal.
Everyone gets really depressed sometimes. Everyone cries. For heavens sake, you don't need a dog to lick away some tears. These dogs are for people who are DIAGNOSED with sever depression and/or anxiety which stops them doing day to day things.
Uncreative Child how do you know how bad someone situation is. Next time just keep your mouth instead of belittling someone who said they have issues that's just not your place.
AcuteAngle actual their are psychiatric service dogs that are for people with depression, anxiety, or ptsd as diagnosed by a medical professional their no sort of regestration or fees (unless you get the professionally trained or get trainer assistance) you did a license to have a service dog you need a diagnosed disability and a trained dog with tasks or is trained to do to help you
don't worry same here aswell.. I have anxiety and it's gotten to the point where I wake up crying every single day of my life because I don't want to leave the house.. and also on holidays and weekends, I like hardly ever leave the house but it's getting worse but my mum keeps saying that she used to get the same thing I get and to try deep breathing and to talk to a counsellor.. talking to someone doesn't help me; in fact it makes everything worse, deep breathing never helps me.. my teachers yell at me for not focusing when I can't focus and then I end up crying and then everyone calls me a crybaby..
I have Severe Anxiety, OCD, and Major depression and I was diagnosed in mental hospital which I've been to twice. My entire life I've struggled going to school and the last time I actually went more than a couple months was in 3rd grade and I'm currently in 9th. I struggle getting myself up in the mornings and I'm always over thinking things, getting nervous or angry (in an anxious way) easily and I struggle with human contact as I don't like hugging or anything physical unless I ask for it. I keep myself from crying when talking to people, and I can't speak on phones as it makes me panic. Approaching someone is my worst nightmare and it took me 4 weeks to tell my classmate I liked her backpack because I was too scared to approach her. I grew up with a Pomeranian, (whom is living with my mom in Texas as I recently moved across the states with family to go to school as a freshman, it's going well but I'm still struggling so much) and she always knows when I'm sad and comes in my room and makes me pet her. Surprisingly her thick fur always makes me so happy to pet and I always feel better with her around. I'm only going to 2 classes a day out of 4 as it's too much for me to handle, and we have a service dog class (which I've yet to join because it's too much for me ATM) and it's got my family thinking about getting me one. A therapy dog sounds so nice and I would like a Pomeranian if I could get one but I don't know hardly anything about it? How do I get one, train it, make it legal so I can take it to school, are Pomeranians good for therapy dogs, and how much do they cost or can I sign up to get one cheap or free? If anyone can I'd love to know as much as possible!💕
My dog makes me get out and about to walk her so I pick places like the library and shipping to take her and of course the leash free park, other people talk to me and her and that makes me feel like a part of something then those same people wave and or greet me even when my dog is not around. I have chronic anxiety and depression and my routine works because of my dog, it even makes me now the lawn and make a nice garden for her to get shade. Don't think I lay around all day making my dog lay with me like the picture on this video suggests. No it's not all roses it's frustrating until you get a routine because I felt sorry for the dog being stuck here with me (worthless feelings) but that makes you get up and grumble but still walk the dog and once you have done something you feel better, you can't do this without a dog because you don't have the conviction, you need something like a dog to make you get out of bed and shower etc but then you have to deal with people who think your faking your disability, like who would want to fake such a thing unless they were a different kind of sick. Thanks for reading my story.
For people who have service dogs; I feel like I would benefit from one (I need to go and talk to a therapist, get diagnosed etc) but I believe I suffer from social anxiety and depression. A friend of mine with bipolar depression believes I might even have bpd. My anxiety is pretty bad in public places, I pick at the skin on my arms when anxious or stressed (I’m covered in small circular scars on my arms even damaging my tattoos) I refuse to go into public places without someone I trust and even then crowds make my heart beat what feels like out of my chest. I cry a lot and don’t know why some of the times. I always have a lot going on family wise (especially here lately) so everything has been bad, and I’ve struggled with getting myself out of bed, showering, I don’t feel the need to brush my teeth because “why do I care” type of feeling. I thought it’d get better when I got a boyfriend and it kind of has but I’m still doing pretty bad. Could I benefit from a service dog?
very informative! people, especially people who try to distract the dog from working like they do mine, need to see this. now if we could get my mother to understand that my sd is my adaptable equipment, we'd be all set!
I don't know if this is to late or not but if u have anxiety attacks and panic attack's everyday to the point were its disabling and excludes u from life activitys then u could be aldegible to have a SD just talk to ur doctor or therapist about it and make sure u do RESEARCH! And if u ever need anyone to talk to I'm here! :)
I have severe depression, but I don’t want a service dog or therapy dog, or emotional support, I also get overwhelmed for the smallest reason ending up in a panic attack, I almost lost breath once, but I just got a Labrador puppy she’s helping me a bit, but when I’m at school I also get bullied,but I don’t need one, because I don’t have any severe anxiety, self harming is the way I cope but I’m trying to stop.
I don't know if I should get a service dog or not honestly. Dogs really comfort me since I really love them and distract me from my (horrible) thoughts and anxiety. Whenever I get anxiety it's really bad and I start to harm myself (not really bad but I start scratching and all of that I basically stop functioning right) and my counselor is already aware of this too
The YaoiArmy sometimes psychiatric service dogs actually make anxiety worse. It is kind of a hit or miss thing. You need to talk to your primary care doctor to determine whether you fall under the ada definition of disabled.
Does the device dogs really help? I have severe anxiety (plus depression )that I can barely go to a store like Walmart anymore and I don’t know what else to do and I want to see if a service dog is right for me because I hate being home alone all day and I want to be able to actually shop without having an attack
I have cases of severe anxiety, stress, and depression to the point where I actually pull out my own hair. I would do anything for an emotional support animal in general. I'm to the point where it's actually hard to breathe because of the stress and anxiety. To make matters worse, I have epilepsy. There was a chance that I would be able to grow out of it, but I never did. If I could get an ESA sometime soon, that would be an extreme improvement to my life.
ESA's have 0 Public access rights, unlike service animals who are tasked trained to mitigate or help with one's disabled needs. However, ESA's can live in no pet housing and ride on airplanes as long as you have a doctor note/letter. There is no legal registration for ESA's, TD'S, or SD's and they are scams.
I have really bad depression and moderate anxiety and I just got a puppy and I really want to make her a support animal for me when she's a little older and trained. Idk how to really go about it though? Dogs help when my anxiety gets really bad so I think it would really help me if I could take her with me when I go out
Support animals have 0 Public access rights other than Non-pet-friendly housing, airplanes, and pet-friendly stores. Also, ESA's require no training at all. If the Anxiety is disabling where you cannot function on your own then you're looking for a psychiatric service dog which is way beyond the ESA Limit. Also the dog will need to be tasked trained it can't just "help." you with it Unless it naturally senses your Hydroneline levels increasing as The Anxiety Hits in.
I have not been diagnosed with any severe anxiety or severe depression yet, but I have been getting panic attacks very often in the last few days and every day at school I almost feel as if ill have a panic attack or sometimes even pass out/faint due to the noise or the sheer amount of people around me in the hall. I get extremely dizzy. I have also been having stomach issues but I dont think they matter much, were working it out with the doctor. They also think the dizziness may be due to dehydration so ive started bringing a water bottle to school. For the dizziness we think it is due to anxiety for me not doing my work and my parents on me about it often. But me personally, I dont think thats the case because its only in school or places with a large amount of people or a place with loud noises that I feel faint or as if i need to lean on something for support/balance or as if ill have a panic attack. Ive started to do my work in the past couple days and the feeling of faintness or as if a panic attack will happen any moment hasnt died down, in fact its gotten worse. If we rule out the factor of its just me having a tiny bit of a busy schedule and not being able to keep up with it, I was curious if a service animal or ESA would be a good idea for me? I actually did pass out for a short moment of time in one of my classes during a test. I dont want to end up passing out in the halls at school or kaybe during science while we work with any chemicals. So if we rule out me being stressed out due to my schedule and work ethic would a service animal or esa be a good idea? If so then what breed would you recommend? There isnt any guarantee that ill get one but just in case my doctor and parents do agree what breed? I was thinking a Bernese mountain dog or a golden retriever (i have a habit of thinking way ahead haha) but they may be a bit to big for school (if id need a service animal) so im not too sure.
I think you're thinking way too far ahead. You haven't been diagnosed professionally which means you're not on meds/therapy yet which you need to try first. If something else can help you you should try that first. Next, having anxiety for the last couple days doesn't mean you need a service dog. You should try all your other options first. Service dogs should be a last resort. I'm sorry if that was a little harsh but service dogs aren't fun to have.
This was really cool and helpful, I am considering applying for a service dog sometime in the distant future (the process is different in New Zealand) for multiple disabilities, including these too. Would you please consider increasing the font size next time you make a slide show though :) Thanks, on behalf of myself and others with vision impairments
I don't think people understand that you can't just get a service dog because you are depressed. Mental health dogs should be a last resort, and it's very reccomended that the the person who will own it trains it, because it gets you out of the house and is good for you, and the dog will learn how you feel with things, not every has the same panic attacks.
Rodent Freak It seems like you really don't understand how serious depression can be. Also, where on earth did you hear that this should be "last resort"?
Ok I agree with every one and get what you all are saying I think he just meant you can’t get a dog just because you have depression it has to be disabling and yes depression is a big deal and it affects many people Also I think by last resort it might have gone to far but it should not be the first one Either you should only try it if mediation or other treatment just doesn’t work because medicine can be vary effective
I have clinical depression and I don't know if I qualify for a service dog but I'm trying to train my dog some tasks. It's really hard and frustrating though.
I have severe depression and severe anxiety. Don't leave the house or even leave my room, I don't go to school all because of this. Is that enough to get a service dog?? I have depression, anxiety, OCD, mesophonia, and ADD... Yeah I'm a messed up person.
I have a retired service dog and fixing to get a new one. I suggest talking with the doctor first, if he/she agree's to let you have a service dog, then you could start researching if you haven't yet and also discussing what would be best and if a dog would be 100% of the solution with your parent's or legal guardian. If you have done research find a breeder who is used to breeding or raising sd's and talk to them. I owner trained my first one without a trainer and my second is gonna be with a trainer. So if you don't want to owner train or owner train with a trainer an Organization could train one for you. However Some Organization's cost over 1,000$ while some are non-profitable. Also keep in mind it takes 2-3 year's to fully train a service dog even though they are normally alway's in training. This is a big thing to think about. Hope everything goes well though! ^^
i have depression and anxiety, both of which limit the things that i used to do without them. I do not leave the house except for when i have to (school, therapy) and I often feel scared and unsafe when i do (also i appreciate solitude more than anything else, probably too much actually). i have always had trouble making friends, and i did a test this week because my therapist and parents think i might have autism. my mental illnesses are pretty bad, but not to the point where i am a danger to myself (suicidal) or those around me (aggression problems) i wonder if i would qualify for a service dog. i have also heard of ESAs, but I am not sure whether i’m just exaggerating because there are a lot of people that are doing much worse than me, and i don’t want to disrespect this community. I would love to hear your opinion on my options, and whether you think i would qualify for a service dog (also if you think i would, how do you think i could introduce this idea to my therapist and parents?) thanks!
You need a doctor or therapist to prescribe one first You also have to have a disability diagnosed by them And the dog has to be able to do a task (ex, deep pressure therapy, seizure alert, panic attack alert, retrieve meds, etc)
I really want to get a service dog because of my anxiety and depression problems but in my school there’s a few people who has some kind of disorder and they don’t have a service dog. I don’t want the people around me to think that I’m being dramatic because I “only” have anxiety and depression while someone else have adhd or maybe worse, the thing is that I just don’t want to bring attention to myself. And I really want to talk to my parent a bout it but I’m just to scared to tell them about my anxieties. I know how they would react and I know they will just think that I’m being over dramatic, the reason I know this is because I’ve been trying to ask them for a pet when I didn’t know that I had anxiety, but they said that they didn’t like “animals” or anything and that they “stinks”.
Katelyn Pendergraff he is a service dog but he just stays at home he just helps me calm down when an anxiety attack happens and my brother needs my pug for anxiety and depression but he doesn’t take it into stores but he can if he really needs to he’s struggling. It’s more for my brother but my pug still helps me.
Louise Austin oh it’s also for my brother who really struggles with the same things I have that isn’t an esa. He helps for anxiety attacks and takes anxiety away.
I have severe social anxiety and due to that I have missed 5 1/2 months out of a 10 month school year, I do not leave the house unless I have someone with me because I can’t be in public by myself, I made my parents waste over $300 on a trip I never went to because I didn’t want to be alone and stand out. I used to bring my chihuahua with me in public but I couldn’t bring her into stores or school. I feel like a service dog would really help me but I don’t think I qualify for one and I feel like it’d cost too much money. I don’t even know how to bring the topic up to my parents so they could look into it.
Service dogs cannot be Tasked trained for SA Sadly due to no known tasks being identified. If you're legally disabled however and you cannot function out of your house on your own a dog can be tasked trained to mitigate your disabilities then yes you qualify. If not then no. I think it's up to you and your medical health adviser to see if they would agree if you qualified or not.
Maybe you should see a psychologist, so sorry you have this problem. Maybe you could ask them if there are trainers that can help you with your dog. God bless you. I pray happiness for you.
Also you shouldnt ask random people in comment sections if having a service dog is beneficial to you. they might not be properly education on this stuff and they're not a doctor
I honestly need a esa I have really bad anxiety and my blood pressure may rise up which will cause me to pass out and I'm scared I have a Jacob sartorius concert in a couple days and I just hope i don't pass out during the concert
I have a few questions, First, how old must you be to get a service dog/emotional support dog? I'm under 18 and I'm not sure on how old you got to be. Second, lets say I get a dog, im not quite sure which one I should get? I have really bad depression and anxiety. (I guess I sometimes get panic attacks too) I never get out of the house and I hate being in crowds, and I don't like being alone or near strangers. For instance when I walk around by myself I'm public I usually keep looking around as if someone was watching/out to get me. When I'm walking home from school and someone is on the same sidewalk as me I usually start to shake. For some reason I start acting really bad around male adults. When I encounter a adult male walking on the same sidewalk as me I shake really bad and start to hyperventilate, or I feel as if I can't breathe. Third, lastly *if* I actually were to get one out of the two dogs, which breed would you recommend?
You can be any age. I'm 13 and i used to have a service dog. Also it's not like you just get a dog and call it a service dog. You can either start basic obedience with it or talk with some service dog trainer's or program's. I Suggest: Rottie's, Golden doodle's, Poodle's, Lab mix's, Spaniel's, Lab retriever mix, Golden retriever. But service dog's come in a whole different verity. My previous service dog was a Rat terrier mix. Next one is gonna be a chow. Also keep in mind service dog training takes 2-3 year's to fully train and it's always Very important to have a doctor's opinion. Normally without doctor's opinion you could get in a lot of hefty trouble.
+lulu I and I also train service dog's. If you knew what you were talking about then you would understand. Also I could care less if your husband trained service dogs. Not you're business to know who I am 👋
an emotional support animal and a service animal are NOT the same. a service animal does a task for someone with a medical disability. ie pull a wheelchair, help a blind person, alert them of a seizure. this doest not include emotional support. only service animals are allowed ada protection of full access rights. you cant take an emotional support animal shopping, out to eat with you etc. you can take an emotional support animal (after you have obtained a doctors note stating you need an emotional support animal) on an airplane, bus, or in a apartment that you rent that doesnt allow pets.
Guide Dogs assist blind and visually impaired people by avoiding obstacles, stopping at curbs and steps, and negotiating traffic. The harness and U-shaped handle fosters communication between the dog and the blind partner.
lmao. troll on troll...troll on.. ha ha or... just get hummm a life. enuff breath spent on you. lets see (click--ignore nonsense troll lulu 1 -blocked) bye bye forever ha ha ha
@@stormtrooper88, there are such things as psychiatric service dogs because certain levels or kinds can disable an indavisual. Like PTSD service dogs who alert and respond to panic attacks, my SDIT is stress and anxiety response. If I get too anxious out in public my joints become very weak and I hyperventilate uncontrollably to the point my body goes numb. She helps me prevent that. But I do definitely agree that there should be a clearer difference between emotional animals and actual psychiatric service dogs. A lot of people will get diagnoses by a moron with depression and go OH I WANT A DOG TO FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE!!! And slap a vest on their toy poodle and walk into public. People like that piss me off. In fact, the other day I saw a woman walk into Walmart carrying a toy poodle wearing a pink fluffy dress and a bright pink bow. I wanted to smack her when she said "YES SHE'S A SERVICE DOG." My ass. 😑
@@feathersong5838 agree. a doctor must prescribe this. the DOG also must be trained with an actual task. emotional support does not qualify. you cant just say "i want to bring my DOG because it comforts me. it is LEGAL for someone to ask what task does your dog perform." the task must be something like. alerts me when i am going to or am having a panic attack. it also be supported by a doctor and not self diagnosed. if the DOG is only for emotional comfort it IS NOT a service animal. last week i got dog crap all over my wheelchair AGAIN because somebody brought their PET into the store and it crapped everywhere! my service dog would never ever do such a thing. thank god i was in my electric chair. last time i was in my manual chair. dog crap all over my hands. fyi..the law:www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm
I have severe depression and mild social anxiety my mom does not know about this not even my closet friend i have been learning about services dogs before i was 6 i have always looked up to working dogs either in police forces military service or emotional suport and service dogs and i think a psd would help but have yet to consult to a doctor then again i need mental and physical help i also have insomnia on a unrealated note my severe depression and mild anxiety makes it hard for me to attend school go many places eat and sleep would a psd (physiactric service dog) help me?
I'm home from school right now because (with parents permission of course) I have the worst depression I could imagine. I break down in panic attacks doing simple tasks. It's just too much sometimes. How do I bring the topic up to my mom?
Hi sorry to bother but I have been trying to get answers about service dogs I have been struggling with depression and anxiety and usually these happen at home and public places I rarely get anxious at home but I do get upset and end up self harming also when I'm doing that I use it as a distraction and when I'm out in public I tend to get anxiety attacks when I'm alone or left behind with no one like when I get on a bus to school I get very anxious and overthink then start crying also there was a time my friends went on this rollercoaster and I don't like rollercoasters so I thought I should wait then I started getting a anxious because of the crowd and I ended up getting lost which led to an anxiety attack i couldn't breathe and it took about an hour for me to calm down when my friends found me they have suggesting I get a service dog to keep me company and make sure I don't get anxious when I'm alone I get paranoid when I'm out alone like when I go to a store near my house I get scared that someone is always behind me and usually I would use stress toys that my therapist gives me but I only see her twice a week so I usually end up breaking them and it results to self harm but I haven't done it recently since I was away on a trip which made everything worse on the way to the trip I got anxious and almost missed my bus because I was in a bathroom trying to calm myself down a lady found me and she ended up calming me down but I cried and hid my face the whole ride there because my mom wasn't there and when I arrived my aunt would take me out which would get me scared because of all the people and I also got in an argument several times which lead me to become more upset and cry for hours now this is new because I would just get a feeling like crying but wouldn't after an argument but now when I do I lock myself in a room and cry until I fall asleep or pass out then wake up whith heaaches it would be hard to breathe when I am in public alone but then also when I'm home and get anxious at home my parents don't know what to do and leave me alone and make me solve it on my own but it just makes it worse also i have been seeing if I need a service dog or an emotional support animal I just don't really know I have told my therapist about this but haven't gotten much about it and I don't know how to ask if I need a service dog i have been trying everything I have taken medication and used stress toys but none seems to work at this point I just feel like there will never be a way for me to go out and be peaceful without having an anxiety attack or paranoid thoughts I'm surprised I even wrote all this I just fear that I won't get an answer but hopefully I do I just want to know what should I do or if I should consider a support animal or a service dog
TO MAKE IT CLEAR: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SERVICE DOG AND AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG. AND ESA (EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL) IS NOT TRAINED TO PERFORM TASKS AND CANNOT BE TAKEN WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO OUT IN PUBLIC, SUCH AS TO THE STORE OR THE MOVIES. COMFORT ITSELF AND NEEDING THE OWNER TO GET UP AND PROVIDE CARE ARE NOT TRAINED TASKS AND DO NOT COUNT IN A SERVICE DOG, THOSE ARE LITERALLY WHAT AN ESA DOES. TRAINING TO ALERT TO ANXIETY, KEEP YOU DISTRACTED/YOUR FOCUS ON THE DOG, ALERTING/FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU, KEEPING PEOPLE AWAY FROM YOU WHEN NEEDED AND REMINDING YOU TO TAKE MEDICATION ARE TRAINED TASKS AND QUALIFY AS SERVICE DOG TASKS. OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE GROUNDING AND DPT (DEEP PRESSURE THERAPY) DURING ANXIETY ATTACKS, INTERRUPTING HARMFUL BEHAVIORS, EVEN USING A SPECIAL PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP IF NEEDED. I wanted to clear that up. Mostly because I have a Service Dog for Anxiety (service dogs for mental illnesses are often called Psychiatric Service Dogs, or PSDs), but also because I don't want anyone misunderstanding and bringing another fake service dog into public and risking the safety of real ones.
I'm trying to decide if I need a service dog. I definitely wouldn't get an ESA, because they don't have public access rights, and my issues only happen in public. So, recently I've had a couple of seizures caused by prolonged exposure to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Luckily, they've only happened at my house, not in public. I'm pretty sure they're not going to happen again, seeing as I've left the school that was causing the problems. But the seizures aren't my issue. Every time I go out in public, especially to large open stores like Walmart or something, I get this weird anxiety. My heart rate skyrockets, it's hard for me to breath because of my heartrate, my muscles start going a bit weak, and then to make things worse, I start to panic because of these things, putting me *very* close to going unconscious. I can usually snap myself out of it by a lot of blinking and trying to mentally block everything out and trying to focus on something else, but then it just comes back. After these things start, it's usually difficult for me to realize that I just need to leave and calm down. I think the reason this started was because of me being anxious that I'm going to seize again, this time in public. My thoughts are that a service dog could let me know when things are getting a bit out of hand by alerting me somehow, so that I could realize sooner that I need to leave, and it could also do deep pressure therapy to calm me down. I tried doing DPT with my pet dog, but the thing is she can't be trained to be a service dog because she's too old and is deaf and mostly blind.
There's more than just taking a dog into public. If the animal can be tasked trained for your need's and your disabled under the ADA You would qualify for one. However, it's more up to your doctor and your self if you think you are disabled and you have disabilities interfering with the daily activities you do Then you would qualify for a service animal if not Then your only choice would be an ESA.
I also have severe anxiety and depression it prevents me from going to school and hanging out with friends and going places and I can't ever sleep cause I always cry every night and be scared and depressed so would I be able to get a service dog and bring him/her to middle school and I'm not that much educated on service dog so please can some one help and educate me on this
I have anxiety that effects me with strangers and I'm a teenager so it only effects me when I'm not around my parents. but when I'm older I want to move to the other side of the world and I might need a service to stop me having panic/anxiety attacks and also so I don't have to be afraid in the house and out of the house would I be able to get a service dog that I train myself for that?
Depression anxiety insomnia is debilitating wish they could be service animals so you can take them every where when you leave home all your depression and so forth doesn't stay behind it follows you and haunts you where ever you go I really do believe esa should considered a suport animal
I have severe depression and horrible panic attacks. I barely leave the house and I do online classes because I am petrified to go into civilization. Should I get a sevice dog?
Ermm im not sure i qualify or if it would help or if i even need a service dog.. But i suffer from ptsd, severe depression and anxiety. I fear being outside or around people because of the thought that someone will kill or kidnap or rape me. I absolutely fear break ins and shooting and stay up all night checking windows and i never feel safe. Im scared of cleaning supplies cause of chemicals, i fear i take wrong dosages or that ill die from something as little as dying my hair. I never know if ill have a full on panic attack and mental break downs from being in neighborhoods or stores. I cant do simple tasks to take care of myself. I can lay in bed for hours and stare at a wall. I stay up till i know ill pass out as soon as i lay down or thoughts flood my head and im bawling my eyes out. I use to self harm and i fear ill go back to it. Ive always had nightmares since i was like 7. I sometimes also feel like im back in old places ive been from ptsd for no reason or from something like looking at pictures. Ive even had a nightmare that felt so real i ended up locking myself in the bathroom freaking out trying to accept the fact someone was going to break in and kill me. Ive been suffering for about 13 years and im 18 now.
Whenever I am left at home alone I have these panic attacks where my mind goes blank, my heart rate goes up, and I hear things. I also see things like demons/ghosts. I know it's in my head, but is that considered anxiety? Edit/comment: I have a panic attack every time I am alone. At night is usually when they happen. One time I had a dream where I was in a dark forest. There was a light at the end of it, but it was far. It happened fast, but I was pulled out behind be by my foot. I woke up shaking, in my bed. I couldn't move besides turning my head. I could see my older brother sleeping on the other side of the room. A book right next to my head flew into the closet door and you could here it. I was shaking so badly. After about ten minutes I finally got the courage to get up. There were scrapes on my knees that I didn't have before. But the book wasn't there. It was never there. Even though I was completely awake. Just talking about this makes my heart race. Ever since that night, I shake uncontrollably. My eyes twitch, my jaw shakes, make hands and fingers shake. It happens randomly. It's not when I am excited or scared, it just happens. I am not mentally insane or whatever. I did have cancer when I was younger, so I don't know if that has to do with anything. Know one really understands. I talk too much (as you can see lol) so people don't really listen. Thank you for reading this all, I am sorry if I took up your day.
No. I think it's best to go to therapy before asking. I think you would be able to overcome this, and it sounds like you're young so it's very normal to panic when alone (maybe not to this extent, but it's normal.) I also think these situations can sometimes be avoided if you have parents or a sibling with you. Maybe an ESA would be a better option for you.
I suffer from really bad depression and anxiety. I also have several panic attacks every day. I've been looking to get a service dog for a few weeks now. But I can't seem to find any program near where I live. I live in Scotland. I also can't bend down to pick stuff up off the floor because of a previous back injury. I also have spasms in my left arm and my right leg that makes me unable to hold or carry anything in my left arm. And when I get a spasm in my right leg I usually need to sit down until the spasm stops. It would be great if I could get a service dog because I could hold on to it until the spasms stopped and I wouldn't need to sit on the floor whilst I'm out shopping. Can anyone tell me about any programs of service dogs that are in Scotland or near Scotland?. Thanks
MegaNatasha13 I would first do research about service dogs in Scotland. I'm sure they allow them but it might be different than the US. I know that in the US you can train the dog on your own, but Scotland may require you to get a professional trainer train them. I hope this helped. I know you probably didn't get what you need from this, but I think it should at least help.
This would actually be useful to me because when people try to talk to me when I am just... well when I have an anxiety attack people think I’m mean or something because I just don’t wanna deal with them or talk to them my parents don’t believe me when I say something is wrong with me I feel like they don’t want me to have any of this stuff So I can’t really talk to anyone about it but I think a service dog will help me if I can get my parents to just listen to me I guess I just hide my depression so well they don’t believe it
i have severe Anxiety and panic disorders, as well as severe depression... I want and could definitely use an emotional support dog, but I dont think my parents would let me...
i have severe anxiety and major depression too. I urged my therapist but he said im not responsible enough.. Which sucks because i dont have the will to take care of myself sometimes from my depression but if i had a dog i would HAVE to take care of me and my dog. But no, they said no and its annoying.
I've had depression for almost 4 years now anxiety for almost 2 Everytime my family goes to a large store I don't tell them but I feel uneasy and dizzy like something bad is coming and it leaves when i walk out the door In school I have the same issue At home or any where I still have depression I was diagnosed with clinical depression q1q
So, my dog doesn’t need extreme training to be a service dog? I have anxiety & depression myself including autism. Does my dog need to be approved by the law or something in order to be a service dog? SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY!!!
That is so stupid. Emotional problems are as real as physical ones. Maybe one day our government can make a law that they have to be accepted everywhere. NAMI might could propose something.
I dont usually post comments, but i have been looking into service dogs and if i could benefit from one. i have fibromyalgia it has progressively worsen from muscle spasms to congnitive difficulty, along with anxiety and depression. I dont leave my place alot and when i do its usually with a person i can hold on to and not for very long. never alone because im afraid I will look my control of my body. i can still walk but it hurts and i have flares just about everyday. sometimes carrying for weeks. with little breaks. ive had this conditions for about 2 years (its also military related)
I also have fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression. My fribro is not as severe as yours, but I understand. it's hard to do things, or stand up too long. I've been looking into service dogs for a long time. Sadly, I do not have the money for a professionally trained one. I do own a regular, untrained dog though, and it helps a bit. Going out of the house alone is hard, so having a service dog would definitely be a nice comfort.
I'm looking into a service dog because I have severe anxiety and get depressed easily (I have actually cut and left scars) that has led me to actually become Elective Mute (Only talking to a few people, if any) I rely on my parents to keep me together most of the time. I've also had mini Panic Attacks (generally in crouded places, it's to the point were I hate school and refuse to go to crouded places ,like the mall, alone) where I'll get really hot, vision blurrs, headaches, and I've fallen or lost balance (Jello Legs) in severe ones. I'm not diagnosed with Depression or Anxiety and take no medicine for it. Do you think this is a good reason to get a service dog? If so, what are some things the dog actually does for you? And what are some good breeds? I intend to get one in a few years (When I graduate Highschool) because my dad won't even let me get a bunny.
Lilly does have some good points, though you do have to be diagnosed with mental conditions to be able to get a Psychiatric Service Dog. Also, do be careful on the breeds should you be getting one from a shelter. Those such as greyhounds do have hip problems (whether they are retired or didn't race), and the hip problems can be seen around age 7. Good luck on your journey, mate!
I'm lost. Do I need an emotional support animal or service animal? I have chronic anxiety and depression. I also suffer from panic attacks at home and in public that are hard to calm down from in certain circumstances.
Jessica Lyn I would get a service dog as emotional support animals are not there to make you feel better however a service dog can go get someone, sense a rise in heart rate and warn you to sit down and get calm, get you medicine or water or a phone to call someone for help, can help with keeping you from having the attack and can sit with you and help calm you down during an attack.
Amy, I'm so very sorry this is happening to you, but if your dog is helping you then carry on. Don't pay a bit of attention to those who mistreat you or say judgmental things. A stranger has not walked in your shoes nor can they possibly understand your journey. Stay strong and keep your head up! You deserve your best life and if your service dog helps you accomplish that then may God continue to shower blessings on your life!! I'm praying for you, Amy, for mercy and grace to surround you and that you find peace and joy again. God bless!!
I have/had severe OCD but am taking medicine and been working with CBT but still I suffer from the anxiety that sometimes comes with the OCD spike ups would a dog be a good idea or a bad one?
I’ve been looking into getting a PSD. I have depression and severe anxiety, social anxiety and panic disorder. My anxiety has kept me basically home bound. I have panic attacks whenever I leave the house. I can’t attend school on a regular basis because of my anxiety. I’ve tried medications and LOTS of therapy but nothing seems to work. The dog I think could mainly help by alerting to panic/anxiety attacks, doing DPT and tactile stimulation during the attack, blocking people from crowding me in public, providing light mobility as I oftentimes get dizzy and nauseous during and after an attack, leading me to an exit, alerting to anxious ticks, etc. Does anyone think that a PSD would be helpful?
how can I train my 5month old puppy to be a service dog for my High anxiety an PTSD ? she knows when I go to bed to stay with me and if someone comes to the door she stays with me..

Chances are: if you clicked on this video you have anxiety and this song is def not calming 😂
Just some insight for the creator of the video
I love this song, but I'm also surprisingly high energy so if I was raw or already really anxious I might just turn the sound off. Definitely no criticism or suggestions for corrections to the creator on my part however
LOL I was thinking the same thing, "this background music is going to give me an anxiety attack!" No hard feelings towards the creator of the video as I really appreciate the information in the video.
Why do all of the videos about psychiatric service dogs have anxiety inducing music.
Faith Hathaway i laughed out loud omg
Faith Hathaway i was just thinking this lmao
@@Zara_Beth omg hi. I didn’t know you were looking into getting a SD? I watch and love your videos btw
I have a service dog for depression and anxiety, and I love him so much! His name is Tucker, and my school finally gave me permission to have him at the school. Honestly he makes my school days 100x better.
if you don’t mind me asking, do you have severe anxiety and depression as i’m trying to figure out what kind of passes for you to be allowed a service dog :) i’d be too anxious to bring my dog to school due to the attention but i really wish i had someone to help me through attacks like a dog
I feel like if I got one I would be bullied or judged, even if having one would help me with depression and social anxiety.
@magical cherrybean Did you get you're service dog trained by a professional or did you train you're dog yourself? Also how did you go about getting you're dog register as a service dog whom did you go to get the dog officially registered?
@magical cherrybean sorry for the confusion, Im trying to get my dog trained to be a service dog and I didn't know if they had to pass something or if there was any paperwork you have to fill out for them to have the title of a service dog?
@@Zara_Beth the anxiety or depression would have to be as bad as disabling u. Like u wouldn't be able to go through your life withought one. And service dogs r usually the LAST resort. There r so many other things u can try before getting a SD. like therapy and medication. and then at the same time don't mistake a SD for a emotional support.
this music is giving me anxiety
It makes my anxiety rise a bit because its fast.
Layla Eshky me too!!! i was going to post that. so weird.
Layla Eshky then mute it.........
Layla Eshky same thats why i muted it but doesnt help cuz my big sister is yelling
Sugagenius with Bts jjang jjang man bbong bbong well its not the videos fault for your sister yelling...
My dog supports me when I cry. She usually stays by my bed every night. She a very good dog. She loves to be loved. Sometimes I feel like she is the only one that understands me.
Emily Spiese exactly why I need a dog ;-;
so happy you have her
Bill Nye The Science Guy I know my dog is my only love.
I feel guilty for wanting one, mostly because my illiness is something you cannot see. But if I am not with close people, or family in public I'm horrifed. My family already worries about me at home with my depression, an animal to comfort me and keep me safe would work well. Espically with the fact that when I am alone at night/early morning, I am very anxious. For some reason I obsess over the thought of someone coming to murder me, that something is in the closet and I have to check, etc. That's just the basics of my mental disorders. Does anyone think I should get one?
CarbonGril Gt why the XD? It's not something to laugh about!
Lunar Bunny yes you should definitely get a psd. I think it would benefit you a lot but you might want to find a professional trainer so trainer a dog yourself isn't overwhelming for you.
Lunar Bunny u know what it's like I don't feel as alone anymore
CarbonGril Gt ahh ok ok sorry! I just use xD as a funny thing and wouldn't use it in a comment like that so soooo sorry about that!
Please talk to a doctor before even thinking about getting a service dog. :/ and it's not like you get a dog and call it a service dog. It takes up alot of time and money. It usually takes up to 2-3 year's to fully train one as well.
I just thought that I should add that emotional support animals are different than service dogs and do not have public access. They require a doctors note and are only allowed to fly on airplanes, live in places with dog restrictions, and accompany their owner at hotels. Where service dogs can do those things and accompany their handlers in public places like restaurants and stores.
What you were describing is a psychiatric service dog. Which help with mental disabilities.
Not under ADA law, but many states do allow ESA's in public
My granddaughter has an ESA that is federally registered. She has PTSD. her dog can and does have federal rights to enter all public vendors and can travel air/water... Her dog is tagged with her registration # on tags, collar, vest and leash. on the leash is a window for the ID card. With the federal law code# and federal 1-800#.. it states, no federally registered ESA can be refused excess or denied. Under this code# it is a federal and state crime against the ESA .Anyone that denies access can and will be fined and prosecuted under the federal and state law.
So, you know we have one ESA and one ESA/Service dog. both are protected by law on a federal and state level. The registration last a lifetime, and. .. it includes, if, the animal is harmed, kidnapped, neglected, abused. Such individuals will be prosecuted under the federal law to the fullest extent.
I know this information first hand, I have the registration in a frame along with ID cards in my wallet.
I wanted too add, pet fee's for hotels are not to be charged for the ESA/Service dog. Under the fair housing, Service/ESA can not denied boarding nor, charged a pet fee. These work dog's are considered agents.
To aquire a legal registration # the dog has to pass a series of tests.
But, again. ESA & SERVICE Dog's are heavily protected under law and can enter any place public, they cannot or, the owner cannot be legally charged for a space for the animal to sit. ( travel reference). The owner can sit anywhere in a restaurant. movie theater, ect..
normally, the vest will state "Do not pet, Animal at work"/ ESA DOG or, SERVICE DOG. the collars, vest are normally red for alert.
AND, under the federal and state law. No owner has to show ANY documentation of why the dog is deemed an ESA or, Service animal. This is a violation under the hippa law. privacy act. of the owner, the only letter you mentioned is a letter by a doctor for the registration process. Not for the general public knowledge.
Ron Wells there is no registry for ESAs. You were scammed. Check the ADA federal laws.
I've had anxiety for 7 years and have been depressed for 1 1/2 years. I feel like a service dog can benefit me...I can't do group activities at school, most days it's hard for me to attend
You..should probably get a service dog.
It's really up to the doctor, Him/her and him/her's parent's or legal guardian's not us.
Poke And The Glace it’s her doctors choice and her parents not yours you don’t know if her anxiety is really disabling technically anxiety isn’t a disability
DailyWeblog same with anxiety but depression has been almost 4 years
DailyWeblog don’t get ine
Nice video. My service dog is my partner in my fight with ptsd. She was trained by me and I learned how to train her through you tube videos.
I am happy for you. God bless you.
@dia clinical depression is what I was told my problem was once. I am looking at dogs, too. I see this comment is 2 years old now, but I hope you get the message. There are other people with clinical depression.
While I do like this video, I think that it is up to the handler on whether or not they allow people to pet their dog while working.
And also, doing laundry and bringing a phone, as well as med reminders aren't tasks that would hold up in court for a SD for depression. There's a fine line for that.
True! I am currently in the process of applying for a psychiatric service dog, and unless it is strongly discouraged by the trainers who worked with my dog, I plan to have patches that say "ask before you pet". That way, I'm not forbidding people from coming up to me (I love dogs too and understand some people don't mean any harm), but I'm also specifying that you have to ask and can't just start petting or talking to my dog.
I know this is an old comment but I just have to respond, YES, it is a very fine line, this video is just as confusing as the ADA. the fact that a person with anxiety /depression can use a service dog but people with the same issues are told their dog is just an ESA is ridiculous. It is all the same thing. A comfort dog is not allowed into public places but a service dog is? My dog does the same tasks that these service dogs are shown doing. How am I supposed to make people understand she IS a service dog? I am disabled by all of my mental issues and have been receiving SSDI for it. Still I get people telling me I don't have service dog status. I don't get it. I need her to function.
I feel really guilty that I want one but the thing is, is that if I don't know someone I get very bad anxiety especially if a guardian is not there. And when I am alone at night and early in the morning I just this feeling that someone is coming to slaughter me. Especially when I'm not at home. Sometimes if I need to go to the bathroom at night or early in the morning I HAVE to hold it in. And if I don't then I stay in the bathroom until I feel safe enough to come out. My dad never really pays attention to me so he doesn't ever notice.
I have a psychiatric service dog and I’m so grateful for her
I feel I'd benefit from one (im not describing what I have) but I don't know how to tell my parents and my doctor.. I'm 13 years old.
my mum always thinks that I'm fine and talking to a counsellor would make it better.. talking to someone about my issues only makes it worse for me but she just doesn't listen.. she keeps saying "yeah I used to have exactly what you get.. try deep breathing" I try that every single day and it has never helped me.. I get like 3 average panic attacks a day and an average of 10 heart palpitations a day..
it's gotten to the point where I'm too scared to leave my house thus my attendance to school is decreasing.. I also wished I was home schooled but I just don't know how to talk to my mum about a physciatric service dog.. do you have any advice.. also I don't know how to tell my mum that every time I go out or go to school, I have suicide thoughts and try to peel my skin off by scratching myself
HilariousWolf97 make sure you talk to your doctor
@@not_it2749 I try to but I don't know how to bring up the conversations.. it always goes to my mum talking to her so I don't really get a word in.. also I don't know how my mum would react aswell..
I wish the UK would accept service dogs for ppl with anxiety and panic attacks. I can't leave house on my own yet my dog helps me but still has impact on my life bcos we can't o into shops etc so I'm very restricted to what I can do. :/
I know, I'm the same :(
I feel bad...:(
so sorry, God bless you
I thought the UK did allow service dogs for anxiety.. that sucks for all of us
Honestly, if my family believed me on my anxiety, I would love to get my own dog trained to be a sd or an esd, but none of them believe how bad my anxiety and depression are. I can't even get the motivation to start training her myself... Though, she's picked up on a few things just by watching me. Now she'll often come up to me if I'm visibly upset and just stand there until I pet her. Other times she just watches me closely if I'm crying and gets me to actually talk to her.
Edit: I have been diagnosed with severe depression and a panic disorder. My dads also taken me off of medication without any professional advice on it and has stopped taking me to a therapist for money reasons. So if you're gonna hate on me, at least do it knowing that this is debilitating for me.
I have severe depression and occasionally have anxiety attacks, I recently moved aways for home and it's been really hard, I was wondering if you think that it would be beneficial for someone like me to have a service animal?
not a service dog, you need an ESA dog. (emotional support animal). a service dog is for physical disability, such as seizures, blindness, strokes, heart condition, ect. they are trained to protect their owner and even brake falls.
emotional service dog's are trained to calm an individual. normally, a ESA can sense 15 minutes before, an attack happens in the owner. A ESA has to bond with the owner in every situation, this animal sleeps, eats, pretty much is your shadow. I've trained both ESA and Service dog's.
best dog for your needs would be an Olde English Bulldogge. They are very intuitive, loving and devoted to there owner. they are indoor dog's. weigh about 30 to 60 pounds, I suggest these breed for the massive factor, when you're have an emotional moment, their weigh against you will comfort. they are not to large for a bed buddy,.. registered ESA or not, a dog will give you a feeling of security and being. I suggest get a dog, look into a rescue that has this breed and skip puppy months. An older dog is more settled, look into a three year old. Good luck!
Thank you very much, this is a lot of help
You're very welcome... :)
skip down to the comment "N" 2 below your comment. I added ESA information on this comment.
I highly suggest, a rescue near you for a rescue dog. most breeders ask three times the amount for a good dog. most dog's in a rescue are animals older people can't afford to feed or, ppl moving into apartments or, no dog zones.
don't overlook a possible good animal in a rescue.
take your time in looking and let the dog come to you, if, the dog comes to you. he or, she is willingly bonding with you. make sure,... if, you select the breed I suggested. it's nose isn't to flat... this can cause the animal breathing issues.
note: feed you dog a good quality food without red dyes. you don't want a gasy dog ..Iams is want I use. again, good luck!
be blessed and smile!
Shocking Ember What the other comment or said is false you may qualify for a service dog. Because they exist for mental disabilities. In your case a service dog for you could do deep presure therapy, alert to anxiety attacks, exit you to a location turn on off lights and so on. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I have a service dog for mental disabilities.
I'm in the middle of training my French bulldog to be a service dog. I have two other dogs but my Sheba was bought to train to be a service dog. I'm 52 got the letter from 2 doctor's for my ptsd, fainting, panic attacks. My daughter an husband died within a year of each other an the symptoms I've had my whole life got 10 x worse. Having Sheba by my side has made the symptoms not as frequent. If I'm having night terrors she clicks on small nightlight next to bed an wakes me up. I love her.
My pup has helped me so much in the past year from school work to preventing panic attacks and telling me when I need to sit down if I get too anxious. He also preforms dpt when im not at home and don't have my weighted blanket with me
I am happy you have your dog. I am looking around at dogs myself.
im learning how to train my dog through service dog videos on youtube
mattia dizard I have some playlists u can watch
mattia dizard best of luck to you!
mattia dizard
This person can't qualify for a service dog. So she takes her pet and calls it a service dog. Then she quit taking her medication and quit counseling.
The ADA law is so badly written that anyone without morals and can lie can legally call their pet a service dog. Nothing can be done about it!!!
Roy Marable you know nothing about this person? plenty of people owner train and they could have gotten the okay from their doctor you pretentious fuck.
AcuteAngle you don't and have never had to legally make any animal a service animal. Learn your facts.
My sister has panic attacks and her dog (we didn't train him) my sister tends to curl up into a ball during these panic attacks so we will tell her dog "mum is upset and needs you!" And he will go running and start licking her face and trying to get her out of the ball, and sometimes will take her hand and try removing her from the area, he's amazing and can easily calm her down within minutes
I get major social anxiety, whenever one stranger walks passed me, I want to pass out or have a heart attack and whenever seeing a crowd in a shopping mall, my heart like stops and then starts beating again as if I were going to collapse on the floor and I do get regular panic attacks... however my mum won't let me get a service dog to help me in public
Have u try talking to a therapist? Or makeing a slide show? Maybe try calculate all the Prices of everything that could help? And I'm struggling with similar issues to if u need anyone to talk to I'm here :)
We ain’t gonna talk about how it’s on google slides?
Love my service dog he helps me with social anxiety
I need an emotional support dog, the problem is that half off the time I need it is when I'm in school. School is where most of my panic attacks and anxiety and depression are from...
ESA'S Have no public rights at all! besides no pet housing and airplanes but both require doctor notes. Service dog's are different between ESA's while service dog's have full public rights ESA's have 0% rights unless the store is pet friendly. ( Tractor supply, petsmart, petco, Petplace etc. )
@@HerShenanigans actually in the ada law it states that you can bring your esa to school or work IF your school or job is ok with it. But that is very rare
Ap Ibarra i know that Lol. I’m just saying schools do not have to abide by the ADA when it comes to emotional support animals. They can legally and 100% deny an emotional support animal VS a services animal
@@HerShenanigans oh ok I'm sorry I misunderstood you
Train them to do all the task to help you. And to behave in public. (start off with dog friendly). It is easier with a puppy. There are lab mutt puppies in shelters that are actually just as good as breeder ones.
Also make sure to decide if a service dog is good for you because in some cases it can actually make your disability work and in order to even get a service dog or train one yourself you must talk to your doctor first
Worse*
sent this to my mom lol
mine would tell me to "find the money" and " UR A TEENAGER EVERYONE FEELS THAT WAY CALM DOWN"
I've have had severe anxiety and depression sense i was 6 and now im 21.
I’ve been struggling with doing simple tasks and I’ve thought about a service dog but my family can’t afford to get one bc we already have two dogs that cost a lot of money and we also have lots of other problems that prevent us from being able to get one
I have severe anxiety, It often stops me from doing normal things such as ordering food, talking to people, and being around people. I tend to get emotional and want to break down, I feel highly panicked when im by myself and it's affected me. When I get panic attacks they get worse everytime and almost always happen when im outside, in school, and anywhere near someone. My panic attacks gotten to the point where I find it extremely hard to breathe and I hyperventilate alot, it got so bad to where I had to get taken out of class by an ambulance. Idk if I need a service dog for it or what to do.
I have both moderate anxiety and depression, and I don't feel like a need a service dog since I don't get anxiety attacks, sometimes I do get anxious or nervous but I can handle it, but I would like a dog, it would be better having it and when feeling bad it could be with me, it could serve as something to be distracted and I love dogs, I always wanted one
My teen age daughter is bipolar and struggles with some pretty bad days with anxiety and panic attacks. Since her room is her sanctuary she asked if she could get a chinchilla, we already have a dog but he is not a service dog,. Just watching him run around and go crazy laughing at some of his craziness like pop Corning and jumping on the side of the walls when he is in his ex-large playpen he will even play with our border collie. So he has been labeled a service animal and she will bring him to school when her anxiety is at it's worse.
A service Animal (dog OR somethimes a miniture horse) must be able to preform tasks related to the disability. If the animal only provides emotional support then they are not considered a service animal but an emotional support animal.
I need a service dog. I get really depressed sometimes and I don't have enough company to keep me from crying.
Keith Gemora The dog has to actively do something to mitigate your disability. Just keeping you company is not considered a task.
Everyone gets really depressed sometimes. Everyone cries. For heavens sake, you don't need a dog to lick away some tears. These dogs are for people who are DIAGNOSED with sever depression and/or anxiety which stops them doing day to day things.
Keith Gemora maybe just a family dog is a better option
Uncreative Child how do you know how bad someone situation is. Next time just keep your mouth instead of belittling someone who said they have issues that's just not your place.
AcuteAngle actual their are psychiatric service dogs that are for people with depression, anxiety, or ptsd as diagnosed by a medical professional their no sort of regestration or fees (unless you get the professionally trained or get trainer assistance) you did a license to have a service dog you need a diagnosed disability and a trained dog with tasks or is trained to do to help you
I should get one need to... but my parents can’t see depressed...
don't worry same here aswell.. I have anxiety and it's gotten to the point where I wake up crying every single day of my life because I don't want to leave the house.. and also on holidays and weekends, I like hardly ever leave the house but it's getting worse but my mum keeps saying that she used to get the same thing I get and to try deep breathing and to talk to a counsellor..
talking to someone doesn't help me; in fact it makes everything worse, deep breathing never helps me.. my teachers yell at me for not focusing when I can't focus and then I end up crying and then everyone calls me a crybaby..
Your parents would have to know,you can't bring the dog to places without them knowing.
I have Severe Anxiety, OCD, and Major depression and I was diagnosed in mental hospital which I've been to twice. My entire life I've struggled going to school and the last time I actually went more than a couple months was in 3rd grade and I'm currently in 9th. I struggle getting myself up in the mornings and I'm always over thinking things, getting nervous or angry (in an anxious way) easily and I struggle with human contact as I don't like hugging or anything physical unless I ask for it. I keep myself from crying when talking to people, and I can't speak on phones as it makes me panic. Approaching someone is my worst nightmare and it took me 4 weeks to tell my classmate I liked her backpack because I was too scared to approach her. I grew up with a Pomeranian, (whom is living with my mom in Texas as I recently moved across the states with family to go to school as a freshman, it's going well but I'm still struggling so much) and she always knows when I'm sad and comes in my room and makes me pet her. Surprisingly her thick fur always makes me so happy to pet and I always feel better with her around. I'm only going to 2 classes a day out of 4 as it's too much for me to handle, and we have a service dog class (which I've yet to join because it's too much for me ATM) and it's got my family thinking about getting me one. A therapy dog sounds so nice and I would like a Pomeranian if I could get one but I don't know hardly anything about it? How do I get one, train it, make it legal so I can take it to school, are Pomeranians good for therapy dogs, and how much do they cost or can I sign up to get one cheap or free? If anyone can I'd love to know as much as possible!💕
Thank you... I, so needed this right now!
My dog makes me get out and about to walk her so I pick places like the library and shipping to take her and of course the leash free park, other people talk to me and her and that makes me feel like a part of something then those same people wave and or greet me even when my dog is not around. I have chronic anxiety and depression and my routine works because of my dog, it even makes me now the lawn and make a nice garden for her to get shade. Don't think I lay around all day making my dog lay with me like the picture on this video suggests. No it's not all roses it's frustrating until you get a routine because I felt sorry for the dog being stuck here with me (worthless feelings) but that makes you get up and grumble but still walk the dog and once you have done something you feel better, you can't do this without a dog because you don't have the conviction, you need something like a dog to make you get out of bed and shower etc but then you have to deal with people who think your faking your disability, like who would want to fake such a thing unless they were a different kind of sick. Thanks for reading my story.
I need this for school. I get extreme attacks at some points in the day, and this would be VERY helpful
For people who have service dogs;
I feel like I would benefit from one (I need to go and talk to a therapist, get diagnosed etc) but I believe I suffer from social anxiety and depression. A friend of mine with bipolar depression believes I might even have bpd. My anxiety is pretty bad in public places, I pick at the skin on my arms when anxious or stressed (I’m covered in small circular scars on my arms even damaging my tattoos) I refuse to go into public places without someone I trust and even then crowds make my heart beat what feels like out of my chest. I cry a lot and don’t know why some of the times. I always have a lot going on family wise (especially here lately) so everything has been bad, and I’ve struggled with getting myself out of bed, showering, I don’t feel the need to brush my teeth because “why do I care” type of feeling. I thought it’d get better when I got a boyfriend and it kind of has but I’m still doing pretty bad. Could I benefit from a service dog?
very informative! people, especially people who try to distract the dog from working like they do mine, need to see this. now if we could get my mother to understand that my sd is my adaptable equipment, we'd be all set!
I'm glad soon I will get A dog that will help me with my depression.
I have moderate to severe depression, it differs at times and I frequently have anxiety/panic attacks. Would a dog help me?
I don't know if this is to late or not but if u have anxiety attacks and panic attack's everyday to the point were its disabling and excludes u from life activitys then u could be aldegible to have a SD just talk to ur doctor or therapist about it and make sure u do RESEARCH! And if u ever need anyone to talk to I'm here! :)
I have severe depression, but I don’t want a service dog or therapy dog, or emotional support, I also get overwhelmed for the smallest reason ending up in a panic attack, I almost lost breath once, but I just got a Labrador puppy she’s helping me a bit, but when I’m at school I also get bullied,but I don’t need one, because I don’t have any severe anxiety, self harming is the way I cope but I’m trying to stop.
I don't know if I should get a service dog or not honestly. Dogs really comfort me since I really love them and distract me from my (horrible) thoughts and anxiety. Whenever I get anxiety it's really bad and I start to harm myself (not really bad but I start scratching and all of that I basically stop functioning right) and my counselor is already aware of this too
The YaoiArmy sometimes psychiatric service dogs actually make anxiety worse. It is kind of a hit or miss thing. You need to talk to your primary care doctor to determine whether you fall under the ada definition of disabled.
Does the device dogs really help? I have severe anxiety (plus depression )that I can barely go to a store like Walmart anymore and I don’t know what else to do and I want to see if a service dog is right for me because I hate being home alone all day and I want to be able to actually shop without having an attack
I love dogs and need another one
I got so much anxiety because of this music
I have cases of severe anxiety, stress, and depression to the point where I actually pull out my own hair. I would do anything for an emotional support animal in general. I'm to the point where it's actually hard to breathe because of the stress and anxiety. To make matters worse, I have epilepsy. There was a chance that I would be able to grow out of it, but I never did. If I could get an ESA sometime soon, that would be an extreme improvement to my life.
ESA's have 0 Public access rights, unlike service animals who are tasked trained to mitigate or help with one's disabled needs. However, ESA's can live in no pet housing and ride on airplanes as long as you have a doctor note/letter. There is no legal registration for ESA's, TD'S, or SD's and they are scams.
if i go on stage i get severe anxiety and cry the second im on stage and if someone _wants me to sing_ i get super anxious and cry
twentyønemelmarcrybbyies 4628 that's not an anxiety disorder or a disability
I have really bad depression and moderate anxiety and I just got a puppy and I really want to make her a support animal for me when she's a little older and trained. Idk how to really go about it though? Dogs help when my anxiety gets really bad so I think it would really help me if I could take her with me when I go out
Support animals have 0 Public access rights other than Non-pet-friendly housing, airplanes, and pet-friendly stores. Also, ESA's require no training at all. If the Anxiety is disabling where you cannot function on your own then you're looking for a psychiatric service dog which is way beyond the ESA Limit. Also the dog will need to be tasked trained it can't just "help." you with it Unless it naturally senses your Hydroneline levels increasing as The Anxiety Hits in.
I have not been diagnosed with any severe anxiety or severe depression yet, but I have been getting panic attacks very often in the last few days and every day at school I almost feel as if ill have a panic attack or sometimes even pass out/faint due to the noise or the sheer amount of people around me in the hall. I get extremely dizzy. I have also been having stomach issues but I dont think they matter much, were working it out with the doctor. They also think the dizziness may be due to dehydration so ive started bringing a water bottle to school.
For the dizziness we think it is due to anxiety for me not doing my work and my parents on me about it often. But me personally, I dont think thats the case because its only in school or places with a large amount of people or a place with loud noises that I feel faint or as if i need to lean on something for support/balance or as if ill have a panic attack. Ive started to do my work in the past couple days and the feeling of faintness or as if a panic attack will happen any moment hasnt died down, in fact its gotten worse.
If we rule out the factor of its just me having a tiny bit of a busy schedule and not being able to keep up with it, I was curious if a service animal or ESA would be a good idea for me? I actually did pass out for a short moment of time in one of my classes during a test. I dont want to end up passing out in the halls at school or kaybe during science while we work with any chemicals. So if we rule out me being stressed out due to my schedule and work ethic would a service animal or esa be a good idea?
If so then what breed would you recommend? There isnt any guarantee that ill get one but just in case my doctor and parents do agree what breed? I was thinking a Bernese mountain dog or a golden retriever (i have a habit of thinking way ahead haha) but they may be a bit to big for school (if id need a service animal) so im not too sure.
I think you're thinking way too far ahead. You haven't been diagnosed professionally which means you're not on meds/therapy yet which you need to try first. If something else can help you you should try that first. Next, having anxiety for the last couple days doesn't mean you need a service dog. You should try all your other options first. Service dogs should be a last resort.
I'm sorry if that was a little harsh but service dogs aren't fun to have.
This was really cool and helpful, I am considering applying for a service dog sometime in the distant future (the process is different in New Zealand) for multiple disabilities, including these too. Would you please consider increasing the font size next time you make a slide show though :) Thanks, on behalf of myself and others with vision impairments
I don't think people understand that you can't just get a service dog because you are depressed. Mental health dogs should be a last resort, and it's very reccomended that the the person who will own it trains it, because it gets you out of the house and is good for you, and the dog will learn how you feel with things, not every has the same panic attacks.
Rodent Freak No, they shouldn't be last resort.
Rodent Freak It seems like you really don't understand how serious depression can be. Also, where on earth did you hear that this should be "last resort"?
Ok I agree with every one and get what you all are saying I think he just meant you can’t get a dog just because you have depression it has to be disabling and yes depression is a big deal and it affects many people
Also I think by last resort it might have gone to far but it should not be the first one Either you should only try it if mediation or other treatment just doesn’t work because medicine can be vary effective
I have clinical depression and I don't know if I qualify for a service dog but I'm trying to train my dog some tasks. It's really hard and frustrating though.
I have severe depression and severe anxiety. Don't leave the house or even leave my room, I don't go to school all because of this. Is that enough to get a service dog?? I have depression, anxiety, OCD, mesophonia, and ADD... Yeah I'm a messed up person.
I have a retired service dog and fixing to get a new one. I suggest talking with the doctor first, if he/she agree's to let you have a service dog, then you could start researching if you haven't yet and also discussing what would be best and if a dog would be 100% of the solution with your parent's or legal guardian. If you have done research find a breeder who is used to breeding or raising sd's and talk to them. I owner trained my first one without a trainer and my second is gonna be with a trainer. So if you don't want to owner train or owner train with a trainer an Organization could train one for you. However Some Organization's cost over 1,000$ while some are non-profitable. Also keep in mind it takes 2-3 year's to fully train a service dog even though they are normally alway's in training. This is a big thing to think about. Hope everything goes well though! ^^
Crazy Person y
Definitely at least try therapy for a while... trust me it’s worth it and cheaper than a service dog
With all of those -supposed- disorders, you should just see a psychiatrist or something.
i have depression and anxiety, both of which limit the things that i used to do without them. I do not leave the house except for when i have to (school, therapy) and I often feel scared and unsafe when i do (also i appreciate solitude more than anything else, probably too much actually). i have always had trouble making friends, and i did a test this week because my therapist and parents think i might have autism. my mental illnesses are pretty bad, but not to the point where i am a danger to myself (suicidal) or those around me (aggression problems) i wonder if i would qualify for a service dog. i have also heard of ESAs, but I am not sure whether i’m just exaggerating because there are a lot of people that are doing much worse than me, and i don’t want to disrespect this community. I would love to hear your opinion on my options, and whether you think i would qualify for a service dog (also if you think i would, how do you think i could introduce this idea to my therapist and parents?) thanks!
I have depression, I'm not sure that I have anxiety, I really want an emotional support dog. It would allow me to talk to strangers!
I'm not sure if I should get one, whenever I'm in a store I get scared. and anxious when I'm alone.
You need a doctor or therapist to prescribe one first
You also have to have a disability diagnosed by them
And the dog has to be able to do a task (ex, deep pressure therapy, seizure alert, panic attack alert, retrieve meds, etc)
I really want to get a service dog because of my anxiety and depression problems but in my school there’s a few people who has some kind of disorder and they don’t have a service dog. I don’t want the people around me to think that I’m being dramatic because I “only” have anxiety and depression while someone else have adhd or maybe worse, the thing is that I just don’t want to bring attention to myself. And I really want to talk to my parent a bout it but I’m just to scared to tell them about my anxieties.
I know how they would react and I know they will just think that I’m being over dramatic, the reason I know this is because I’ve been trying to ask them for a pet when I didn’t know that I had anxiety, but they said that they didn’t like “animals” or anything and that they “stinks”.
I stating to gain both anxiety and depression and I have a pug and he helps me feel happy.
Louise Austin what d o you mean. Europe spies?
Louise Austin what the heck does ESA mean? 🤔
Katelyn Pendergraff he is a service dog but he just stays at home he just helps me calm down when an anxiety attack happens and my brother needs my pug for anxiety and depression but he doesn’t take it into stores but he can if he really needs to he’s struggling. It’s more for my brother but my pug still helps me.
Louise Austin oh it’s also for my brother who really struggles with the same things I have that isn’t an esa. He helps for anxiety attacks and takes anxiety away.
But yes my dog is an esa but he is also a service dog
I have severe social anxiety and due to that I have missed 5 1/2 months out of a 10 month school year, I do not leave the house unless I have someone with me because I can’t be in public by myself, I made my parents waste over $300 on a trip I never went to because I didn’t want to be alone and stand out. I used to bring my chihuahua with me in public but I couldn’t bring her into stores or school. I feel like a service dog would really help me but I don’t think I qualify for one and I feel like it’d cost too much money. I don’t even know how to bring the topic up to my parents so they could look into it.
Heidi Willard I know. I know I don’t qualify for one because I don’t have a disability.
Service dogs cannot be Tasked trained for SA Sadly due to no known tasks being identified. If you're legally disabled however and you cannot function out of your house on your own a dog can be tasked trained to mitigate your disabilities then yes you qualify. If not then no. I think it's up to you and your medical health adviser to see if they would agree if you qualified or not.
New subscriber for my favorite Peter Pan!
What's this symphony called
Im trying to train my dog as a service dog because when i become anxietic, i carve into my skin with whatever I have near me without realizing it.
Maybe you should see a psychologist, so sorry you have this problem. Maybe you could ask them if there are trainers that can help you with your dog. God bless you. I pray happiness for you.
Also you shouldnt ask random people in comment sections if having a service dog is beneficial to you. they might not be properly education on this stuff and they're not a doctor
I honestly need a esa I have really bad anxiety and my blood pressure may rise up which will cause me to pass out and I'm scared I have a Jacob sartorius concert in a couple days and I just hope i don't pass out during the concert
ESA'S Have 0 Public rights and taking ESA's to non pet friendly places is actually illegal because it breaks both the ADA Law and the federal law.
I have a few questions,
First, how old must you be to get a service dog/emotional support dog? I'm under 18 and I'm not sure on how old you got to be.
Second, lets say I get a dog, im not quite sure which one I should get? I have really bad depression and anxiety. (I guess I sometimes get panic attacks too) I never get out of the house and I hate being in crowds, and I don't like being alone or near strangers. For instance when I walk around by myself I'm public I usually keep looking around as if someone was watching/out to get me. When I'm walking home from school and someone is on the same sidewalk as me I usually start to shake. For some reason I start acting really bad around male adults. When I encounter a adult male walking on the same sidewalk as me I shake really bad and start to hyperventilate, or I feel as if I can't breathe.
Third, lastly *if* I actually were to get one out of the two dogs, which breed would you recommend?
You can be any age. I'm 13 and i used to have a service dog. Also it's not like you just get a dog and call it a service dog. You can either start basic obedience with it or talk with some service dog trainer's or program's. I Suggest: Rottie's, Golden doodle's, Poodle's, Lab mix's, Spaniel's, Lab retriever mix, Golden retriever. But service dog's come in a whole different verity. My previous service dog was a Rat terrier mix. Next one is gonna be a chow. Also keep in mind service dog training takes 2-3 year's to fully train and it's always Very important to have a doctor's opinion. Normally without doctor's opinion you could get in a lot of hefty trouble.
You clearly do, Please do research. Or go to other handler's channel's and ask them.
+lulu I and I also train service dog's. If you knew what you were talking about then you would understand. Also I could care less if your husband trained service dogs. Not you're business to know who I am 👋
I qualify for one but idk how to tell my mom
an emotional support animal and a service animal are NOT the same. a service animal does a task for someone with a medical disability. ie pull a wheelchair, help a blind person, alert them of a seizure. this doest not include emotional support. only service animals are allowed ada protection of full access rights. you cant take an emotional support animal shopping, out to eat with you etc. you can take an emotional support animal (after you have obtained a doctors note stating you need an emotional support animal) on an airplane, bus, or in a apartment that you rent that doesnt allow pets.
Guide Dogs assist blind and
visually impaired people by avoiding obstacles, stopping at curbs and
steps, and negotiating traffic. The harness and U-shaped handle fosters communication between the dog and the blind partner.
lmao. troll on troll...troll on.. ha ha or... just get hummm a life. enuff breath spent on you. lets see (click--ignore nonsense troll lulu 1 -blocked) bye bye forever ha ha ha
@@stormtrooper88, there are such things as psychiatric service dogs because certain levels or kinds can disable an indavisual. Like PTSD service dogs who alert and respond to panic attacks, my SDIT is stress and anxiety response. If I get too anxious out in public my joints become very weak and I hyperventilate uncontrollably to the point my body goes numb. She helps me prevent that. But I do definitely agree that there should be a clearer difference between emotional animals and actual psychiatric service dogs. A lot of people will get diagnoses by a moron with depression and go OH I WANT A DOG TO FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE!!! And slap a vest on their toy poodle and walk into public. People like that piss me off. In fact, the other day I saw a woman walk into Walmart carrying a toy poodle wearing a pink fluffy dress and a bright pink bow. I wanted to smack her when she said "YES SHE'S A SERVICE DOG." My ass. 😑
@@feathersong5838 agree. a doctor must prescribe this. the DOG also must be trained with an actual task. emotional support does not qualify. you cant just say "i want to bring my DOG because it comforts me. it is LEGAL for someone to ask what task does your dog perform." the task must be something like. alerts me when i am going to or am having a panic attack. it also be supported by a doctor and not self diagnosed. if the DOG is only for emotional comfort it IS NOT a service animal. last week i got dog crap all over my wheelchair AGAIN because somebody brought their PET into the store and it crapped everywhere! my service dog would never ever do such a thing. thank god i was in my electric chair. last time i was in my manual chair. dog crap all over my hands. fyi..the law:www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm
why does this video make it seem that anxiety SD r emotional support? They aren't there his a HUGE difference!
I have severe depression and mild social anxiety my mom does not know about this not even my closet friend i have been learning about services dogs before i was 6 i have always looked up to working dogs either in police forces military service or emotional suport and service dogs and i think a psd would help but have yet to consult to a doctor then again i need mental and physical help i also have insomnia on a unrealated note my severe depression and mild anxiety makes it hard for me to attend school go many places eat and sleep would a psd (physiactric service dog) help me?
Maybe contact a nonprofit PSD training organization and see if you qualify maybe it would help.
I have a disability I can't do most stuff and I have severe anxiety and ADHD and I have depression too what kind should I get ?
I want one but I feel like I don’t need one, I have anxiety and ocd and still undiagnosed stuff and I feel like I could be eligible you know?
Get diagnosed. You can jump start by getting the dog and training them though.
I'm home from school right now because (with parents permission of course) I have the worst depression I could imagine. I break down in panic attacks doing simple tasks. It's just too much sometimes. How do I bring the topic up to my mom?
Hi sorry to bother but I have been trying to get answers about service dogs I have been struggling with depression and anxiety and usually these happen at home and public places I rarely get anxious at home but I do get upset and end up self harming also when I'm doing that I use it as a distraction and when I'm out in public I tend to get anxiety attacks when I'm alone or left behind with no one like when I get on a bus to school I get very anxious and overthink then start crying also there was a time my friends went on this rollercoaster and I don't like rollercoasters so I thought I should wait then I started getting a anxious because of the crowd and I ended up getting lost which led to an anxiety attack i couldn't breathe and it took about an hour for me to calm down when my friends found me they have suggesting I get a service dog to keep me company and make sure I don't get anxious when I'm alone I get paranoid when I'm out alone like when I go to a store near my house I get scared that someone is always behind me and usually I would use stress toys that my therapist gives me but I only see her twice a week so I usually end up breaking them and it results to self harm but I haven't done it recently since I was away on a trip which made everything worse on the way to the trip I got anxious and almost missed my bus because I was in a bathroom trying to calm myself down a lady found me and she ended up calming me down but I cried and hid my face the whole ride there because my mom wasn't there and when I arrived my aunt would take me out which would get me scared because of all the people and I also got in an argument several times which lead me to become more upset and cry for hours now this is new because I would just get a feeling like crying but wouldn't after an argument but now when I do I lock myself in a room and cry until I fall asleep or pass out then wake up whith heaaches it would be hard to breathe when I am in public alone but then also when I'm home and get anxious at home my parents don't know what to do and leave me alone and make me solve it on my own but it just makes it worse also i have been seeing if I need a service dog or an emotional support animal I just don't really know I have told my therapist about this but haven't gotten much about it and I don't know how to ask if I need a service dog i have been trying everything I have taken medication and used stress toys but none seems to work at this point I just feel like there will never be a way for me to go out and be peaceful without having an anxiety attack or paranoid thoughts I'm surprised I even wrote all this I just fear that I won't get an answer but hopefully I do I just want to know what should I do or if I should consider a support animal or a service dog
TO MAKE IT CLEAR: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SERVICE DOG AND AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG. AND ESA (EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL) IS NOT TRAINED TO PERFORM TASKS AND CANNOT BE TAKEN WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO OUT IN PUBLIC, SUCH AS TO THE STORE OR THE MOVIES. COMFORT ITSELF AND NEEDING THE OWNER TO GET UP AND PROVIDE CARE ARE NOT TRAINED TASKS AND DO NOT COUNT IN A SERVICE DOG, THOSE ARE LITERALLY WHAT AN ESA DOES. TRAINING TO ALERT TO ANXIETY, KEEP YOU DISTRACTED/YOUR FOCUS ON THE DOG, ALERTING/FINDING SOMEONE TO HELP YOU, KEEPING PEOPLE AWAY FROM YOU WHEN NEEDED AND REMINDING YOU TO TAKE MEDICATION ARE TRAINED TASKS AND QUALIFY AS SERVICE DOG TASKS. OTHER EXAMPLES INCLUDE GROUNDING AND DPT (DEEP PRESSURE THERAPY) DURING ANXIETY ATTACKS, INTERRUPTING HARMFUL BEHAVIORS, EVEN USING A SPECIAL PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP IF NEEDED.
I wanted to clear that up. Mostly because I have a Service Dog for Anxiety (service dogs for mental illnesses are often called Psychiatric Service Dogs, or PSDs), but also because I don't want anyone misunderstanding and bringing another fake service dog into public and risking the safety of real ones.
What's the song name
I'm trying to decide if I need a service dog. I definitely wouldn't get an ESA, because they don't have public access rights, and my issues only happen in public. So, recently I've had a couple of seizures caused by prolonged exposure to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Luckily, they've only happened at my house, not in public. I'm pretty sure they're not going to happen again, seeing as I've left the school that was causing the problems. But the seizures aren't my issue. Every time I go out in public, especially to large open stores like Walmart or something, I get this weird anxiety. My heart rate skyrockets, it's hard for me to breath because of my heartrate, my muscles start going a bit weak, and then to make things worse, I start to panic because of these things, putting me *very* close to going unconscious. I can usually snap myself out of it by a lot of blinking and trying to mentally block everything out and trying to focus on something else, but then it just comes back. After these things start, it's usually difficult for me to realize that I just need to leave and calm down. I think the reason this started was because of me being anxious that I'm going to seize again, this time in public. My thoughts are that a service dog could let me know when things are getting a bit out of hand by alerting me somehow, so that I could realize sooner that I need to leave, and it could also do deep pressure therapy to calm me down. I tried doing DPT with my pet dog, but the thing is she can't be trained to be a service dog because she's too old and is deaf and mostly blind.
There's more than just taking a dog into public. If the animal can be tasked trained for your need's and your disabled under the ADA You would qualify for one. However, it's more up to your doctor and your self if you think you are disabled and you have disabilities interfering with the daily activities you do Then you would qualify for a service animal if not Then your only choice would be an ESA.
I also have severe anxiety and depression it prevents me from going to school and hanging out with friends and going places and I can't ever sleep cause I always cry every night and be scared and depressed so would I be able to get a service dog and bring him/her to middle school and I'm not that much educated on service dog so please can some one help and educate me on this
I have anxiety that effects me with strangers and I'm a teenager so it only effects me when I'm not around my parents. but when I'm older I want to move to the other side of the world and I might need a service to stop me having panic/anxiety attacks and also so I don't have to be afraid in the house and out of the house would I be able to get a service dog that I train myself for that?
Depression anxiety insomnia is debilitating wish they could be service animals so you can take them every where when you leave home all your depression and so forth doesn't stay behind it follows you and haunts you where ever you go I really do believe esa should considered a suport animal
I have severe depression and horrible panic attacks. I barely leave the house and I do online classes because I am petrified to go into civilization. Should I get a sevice dog?
Ermm im not sure i qualify or if it would help or if i even need a service dog.. But i suffer from ptsd, severe depression and anxiety. I fear being outside or around people because of the thought that someone will kill or kidnap or rape me. I absolutely fear break ins and shooting and stay up all night checking windows and i never feel safe. Im scared of cleaning supplies cause of chemicals, i fear i take wrong dosages or that ill die from something as little as dying my hair. I never know if ill have a full on panic attack and mental break downs from being in neighborhoods or stores. I cant do simple tasks to take care of myself. I can lay in bed for hours and stare at a wall. I stay up till i know ill pass out as soon as i lay down or thoughts flood my head and im bawling my eyes out. I use to self harm and i fear ill go back to it. Ive always had nightmares since i was like 7. I sometimes also feel like im back in old places ive been from ptsd for no reason or from something like looking at pictures. Ive even had a nightmare that felt so real i ended up locking myself in the bathroom freaking out trying to accept the fact someone was going to break in and kill me. Ive been suffering for about 13 years and im 18 now.
Whenever I am left at home alone I have these panic attacks where my mind goes blank, my heart rate goes up, and I hear things. I also see things like demons/ghosts. I know it's in my head, but is that considered anxiety?
Edit/comment: I have a panic attack every time I am alone. At night is usually when they happen. One time I had a dream where I was in a dark forest. There was a light at the end of it, but it was far. It happened fast, but I was pulled out behind be by my foot. I woke up shaking, in my bed. I couldn't move besides turning my head. I could see my older brother sleeping on the other side of the room. A book right next to my head flew into the closet door and you could here it. I was shaking so badly. After about ten minutes I finally got the courage to get up. There were scrapes on my knees that I didn't have before. But the book wasn't there. It was never there. Even though I was completely awake. Just talking about this makes my heart race. Ever since that night, I shake uncontrollably. My eyes twitch, my jaw shakes, make hands and fingers shake. It happens randomly. It's not when I am excited or scared, it just happens. I am not mentally insane or whatever. I did have cancer when I was younger, so I don't know if that has to do with anything. Know one really understands. I talk too much (as you can see lol) so people don't really listen. Thank you for reading this all, I am sorry if I took up your day.
Would it be a good option to have a service dog?
No. I think it's best to go to therapy before asking. I think you would be able to overcome this, and it sounds like you're young so it's very normal to panic when alone (maybe not to this extent, but it's normal.) I also think these situations can sometimes be avoided if you have parents or a sibling with you. Maybe an ESA would be a better option for you.
I suffer from really bad depression and anxiety. I also have several panic attacks every day. I've been looking to get a service dog for a few weeks now. But I can't seem to find any program near where I live. I live in Scotland. I also can't bend down to pick stuff up off the floor because of a previous back injury. I also have spasms in my left arm and my right leg that makes me unable to hold or carry anything in my left arm. And when I get a spasm in my right leg I usually need to sit down until the spasm stops. It would be great if I could get a service dog because I could hold on to it until the spasms stopped and I wouldn't need to sit on the floor whilst I'm out shopping. Can anyone tell me about any programs of service dogs that are in Scotland or near Scotland?. Thanks
MegaNatasha13 I would first do research about service dogs in Scotland. I'm sure they allow them but it might be different than the US. I know that in the US you can train the dog on your own, but Scotland may require you to get a professional trainer train them. I hope this helped. I know you probably didn't get what you need from this, but I think it should at least help.
This would actually be useful to me because when people try to talk to me when I am just... well when I have an anxiety attack people think I’m mean or something because I just don’t wanna deal with them or talk to them my parents don’t believe me when I say something is wrong with me I feel like they don’t want me to have any of this stuff So I can’t really talk to anyone about it but I think a service dog will help me if I can get my parents to just listen to me I guess I just hide my depression so well they don’t believe it
i have severe Anxiety and panic disorders, as well as severe depression... I want and could definitely use an emotional support dog, but I dont think my parents would let me...
i have severe anxiety and major depression too. I urged my therapist but he said im not responsible enough.. Which sucks because i dont have the will to take care of myself sometimes from my depression but if i had a dog i would HAVE to take care of me and my dog. But no, they said no and its annoying.
Talk to your doctor about it and get their opinion first. If the doctor thinks you would benefit from one then have him/her tell your parents
I've had depression for almost 4 years now anxiety for almost 2 Everytime my family goes to a large store I don't tell them but I feel uneasy and dizzy like something bad is coming and it leaves when i walk out the door
In school I have the same issue
At home or any where I still have depression I was diagnosed with clinical depression q1q
Emotional support animals are different than psychiatric service animals.
This is what I need
So, my dog doesn’t need extreme training to be a service dog? I have anxiety & depression myself including autism. Does my dog need to be approved by the law or something in order to be a service dog? SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY!!!
Thank you so so much!!
Emotional support dogs aren't accepted at my work place since they don't do a physical service.
That is so stupid. Emotional problems are as real as physical ones. Maybe one day our government can
make a law that they have to be accepted everywhere. NAMI might could propose something.
I have depression but I don't have a service dog since I don't need emotional support every five seconds
how many different illnesses can 1 dog moniter? I have quite a few diagnosis but wouldn't want to overwhelm the poor thing.
Autumn Nix look into chronically ill Jackie (not how her name is spelled sorry) she has many diagnosis and her dog Harlow is great with all of them
I dont usually post comments, but i have been looking into service dogs and if i could benefit from one. i have fibromyalgia it has progressively worsen from muscle spasms to congnitive difficulty, along with anxiety and depression. I dont leave my place alot and when i do its usually with a person i can hold on to and not for very long. never alone because im afraid I will look my control of my body. i can still walk but it hurts and i have flares just about everyday. sometimes carrying for weeks. with little breaks. ive had this conditions for about 2 years (its also military related)
My mother has fibromyalgia and its painful. I'm sorry you have to go through that.
It sucks because it took my life away and i cant even explain it properly to people :(
It sucks because it took my life away and i cant even explain it properly to people :(
I also have fibromyalgia, anxiety, and depression. My fribro is not as severe as yours, but I understand. it's hard to do things, or stand up too long. I've been looking into service dogs for a long time. Sadly, I do not have the money for a professionally trained one. I do own a regular, untrained dog though, and it helps a bit. Going out of the house alone is hard, so having a service dog would definitely be a nice comfort.
I'm looking into a service dog because I have severe anxiety and get depressed easily (I have actually cut and left scars) that has led me to actually become Elective Mute (Only talking to a few people, if any)
I rely on my parents to keep me together most of the time. I've also had mini Panic Attacks (generally in crouded places, it's to the point were I hate school and refuse to go to crouded places ,like the mall, alone) where I'll get really hot, vision blurrs, headaches, and I've fallen or lost balance (Jello Legs) in severe ones. I'm not diagnosed with Depression or Anxiety and take no medicine for it.
Do you think this is a good reason to get a service dog? If so, what are some things the dog actually does for you? And what are some good breeds?
I intend to get one in a few years (When I graduate Highschool) because my dad won't even let me get a bunny.
Lilly does have some good points, though you do have to be diagnosed with mental conditions to be able to get a Psychiatric Service Dog. Also, do be careful on the breeds should you be getting one from a shelter. Those such as greyhounds do have hip problems (whether they are retired or didn't race), and the hip problems can be seen around age 7.
Good luck on your journey, mate!
I'm lost. Do I need an emotional support animal or service animal? I have chronic anxiety and depression. I also suffer from panic attacks at home and in public that are hard to calm down from in certain circumstances.
Jessica Lyn
I would get a service dog as emotional support animals are not there to make you feel better however a service dog can go get someone, sense a rise in heart rate and warn you to sit down and get calm, get you medicine or water or a phone to call someone for help, can help with keeping you from having the attack and can sit with you and help calm you down during an attack.
i have ptsd feel u got a service dog and am being mistreated for having her
Amy, I'm so very sorry this is happening to you, but if your dog is helping you then carry on. Don't pay a bit of attention to those who mistreat you or say judgmental things. A stranger has not walked in your shoes nor can they possibly understand your journey. Stay strong and keep your head up! You deserve your best life and if your service dog helps you accomplish that then may God continue to shower blessings on your life!! I'm praying for you, Amy, for mercy and grace to surround you and that you find peace and joy again. God bless!!
I have/had severe OCD but am taking medicine and been working with CBT but still I suffer from the anxiety that sometimes comes with the OCD spike ups would a dog be a good idea or a bad one?
I’ve been looking into getting a PSD. I have depression and severe anxiety, social anxiety and panic disorder. My anxiety has kept me basically home bound. I have panic attacks whenever I leave the house. I can’t attend school on a regular basis because of my anxiety. I’ve tried medications and LOTS of therapy but nothing seems to work. The dog I think could mainly help by alerting to panic/anxiety attacks, doing DPT and tactile stimulation during the attack, blocking people from crowding me in public, providing light mobility as I oftentimes get dizzy and nauseous during and after an attack, leading me to an exit, alerting to anxious ticks, etc. Does anyone think that a PSD would be helpful?
how can I train my 5month old puppy to be a service dog for my High anxiety an PTSD ? she knows when I go to bed to stay with me and if someone comes to the door she stays with me..
