People who are suffering from a mental health condition can get back on their feet with the help of an emotional support animal (ESA). Those who feel alone in their lives may feel loved and accompanied. A beautiful relationship with an emotional support animal reduces mental health symptoms. If you’re wondering how they help, here are the ways:

1. ESAs trigger the increase of serotonin levels. 

ESAs are like antidepressants in that petting them or simply looking into their eyes triggers positive emotions. Your stress lowers.

2. They are a source of unconditional love. 

Some people struggle to find love in others. One can form a meaningful bond with an ESA, and this will serve as a stepping stone in improving the person’s relationships with people.

3. They work in conjunction with other treatments. 

Whether a person takes medication or follows a therapy, an ESA makes a great addition to bring out the best results. Remember that ESAs are not a treatment. Rather, they’re used as support.
