A member asked:
I really dont know how to ask this question. i havent been diagnosed but i have serve depression&anxiety. (including self harm) i dont want to get put on meds but i think a service dog would help, how would i even ask my doctor?

Emotional pet: Presence of a small dog, may provide emotional support and focus on it's needs, which can deflect away from self focus on your own despair. A larger dog might be also OK, but a true service dog would likely be more than you need at this point. Dogs are indeed highly therapeutic, and provide a supportive direction.
