Abstract
Animal-assisted therapy is a fantastic way for individuals to cope with the myriad of symptoms that come with many psychiatric conditions. From excess worry to agitation, animals have proven to be a great way to ease the stress and loneliness that comes with mental health struggles. While AAT has been utilized for thousands of years, the research behind it is relatively new. It is important that this research continues in order for us to fully comprehend the benefits. Based on studies that have been completed, however, animal-assisted therapy shows promising results in terms of helping psychiatric patients to cope and connect with the world around them and should continue to be utilized.
