And will I be able to have him at my apartment?
How much does it cost? I’ve had my dog for 7 years. He’s helped me with PTSD, depression and anxiety. He’s my best friend even through my mood swings.. It’s like a roller coaster ride that never stops
If you go on the main page it starts out at $39. And it goes up to $77. I would recommend the $77 one
I have ptsd, anxiety disorder, depression, and somatic system disorder. Would this qualify me for a esa?
Absolutely.
Why can’t people with anxiety and depression get esa?
They should! These are the people that need them most.
I honestly have no idea why they’re not on here. They can almost benefit the most from them.
There not all on this list for some reason. All those things qualify Google it. I have a dog for depression etc.
I think depression and anxiety goes with cognitive disorders.
Does person with tbi qualify for emotional support dog
I have a letter from a psychiatrist that was good for a year. Do I need to get a new letter now that it has expired or is the certificate I have enough?
ESA letters need to be renewed every year, as your psychiatrist needs to reassess your situation and decide if you still benefit from an ESA. Maybe you’ve gotten better and no longer require an ESA, or the ESA didn’t have the desired effect and other treatment methods might be more successful.
As far as I know You can get an ESA if you have depression and anxiety. It’s just whether or not you dr. Deems you bad enough to have an ESA, if it interferes with your daily routines then you should be able to. I have had depression, anxiety, panic attacks, I’m bipolar type 2, an alcoholic in recovery and have PTSD from being in an extremely abusive marriage for 10 yrs and nearly got killed. Yet none of my drs. And/or therapists have been willing to get me an actual full service PTSD dog let alone an ESA…it’s totally screwed up. Because then I know others that just have depression and get one.
You should look into the links above helping you get it online.
I have provided my coop board with letters from 6 doctors (all expressing an esa would be beneficial to me due to my depression, mental anxiety, Foot Drop due to recent total left hip surgery and now Peroneal Neuropathy. My coop board immediately had coop lawyer get in contact with me. I was ordered to remove my puppy immediately although I had registered him as an esa. They dont want to hear it, after 6 medical professional letters, they continue to deny me stating there is insufficient proof that an esa would benefit me. Who are they kidding, how dare they challenge medical professionals? Im at my wits-end. I feel this is now personal as another has a dog in my complex, why can she and not me? All letters indicate my diagnosis and last letter clearly states ‘certificate of disability’, yet they continue to say no. How can they get away with this. What is my next step?
Have your attorney talk to the HOA attorney, threatening violation of ADA.
Are you on any medications for anxiety, depression or ptsd? If you are there is no reason for you not to get your dog certified for ESA! IF your Dr is not compliant, ask to see a mental health provider and take a list of your meds. Ask your mental health provider to fill out a form of write a short letter stating your condition!
They CAN!!! I have one for depression.
Yes. Both are on here.
