In recent years, medical professionals researching human-animal
relationships have discovered profound benefits that animals can also
provide for persons with mental disabilities. According to the American
Psychiatric Association, psychiatrists and psychotherapists now use
animals to treat a patient’s mental illness when other remedies have
failed. For example, when provided with an emotional support animal,
depressed patients show an increased socialization and decreased
depression, children with severe attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder and conduct disorder show decreased aggressive behavior and
improved attention, and patients with autism or developmental
disabilities have an increased socialization and attention span. As one
psychiatrist aptly stated: "Psychiatry has become biologically based,
less attuned to social environment. This is unfortunate because there is
so much evidence that social support is a critical variable in the
recovery from many serious biological disorders including psychiatric
illnesses." [FN1]
