Plutôt que de prescrire une pilule, un professionnel de la santé pourrait proposer un tout autre remède à des problèmes d'anxiété ou de crises de panique : un animal de soutien émotionnel. Bien connus pour venir en aide aux personnes aux prises avec un handicap moteur, les chiens peuvent également assister des individus en situation de handicap psychiatrique, mental, psychique ou sensoriel.
