Despite the successful advocacy to popularize the subject of mental health stigma, misconceptions are still being circulated causing the issue to not be taken seriously.

An example is the government not requiring a strict or formal training of an animal and sometimes nothing at all before a person in need receives an ESA (Emotional Support Animal). There are also others who self-identify with issues and practice fraudulent ownership of ESAs which are dangerous to the general public since untrained animals can be aggressive towards other animals and humans. These activities alone cause a vitriol against ESAs, owners, and those in a legitimate need of one.
