Emotional support animals (ESAs) can provide therapeutic benefits to individuals who have a mental or emotional disability. These benefits can include reduced feelings of loneliness, improved mood, and increased socialization and communication. ESAs can also provide a sense of safety and security for their owners and can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. Some people may find it easier to cope with day-to-day challenges and stressors when they have the companionship and support of an emotional support animal.
