Most people probably know the term 'service dog', and perhaps most associate it with a dog that assists a physically disabled person. A psychiatric service dog helps and assists a mentally vulnerable person who has a psychiatric diagnosis. It does this by reading its owner's mental state, warning of incipient seizures or episodes and helping him / her through them.

The psychiatric service dog supports people with such disorders and provides mental support in the home and when its owner moves out into the community. If the owner has a psychiatric diagnosis such as anxiety, it can be difficult to make an everyday life stick together.

The psychiatric service dog supports the owner with daily activities so that the owner is able to:

• Get up in the morning
• Go outside
• Attend necessary treatments or medical check-ups
• Be social and enter into social relationships with other people
• Maintain his / her job or complete an education
