The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports increasing levels of anxiety and mental illnesses among college students. And because of that, college students are seeking help that’s outside the box. They turn to emotional support animals.

While more students bring their pets to school, they also face many challenges. For example, a sophomore named Lauren Siffert shares how she tried to help her roommate get documentation for her emotional support animal. She says that a good first step is to obtain a letter from a doctor prescribing the animal.

Keep in mind that getting an emotional support animal only works if a person has a verified mental illness. Otherwise, that person could face fraud charges.
