Emotional support dogs are dogs that provide comfort and support in forms of affection and companionship for an individual suffering from various mental and emotional conditions.

Actually with the new information, a service animals may be a better choice. Service animals are not limited to physical conditions. The dog would be matched and trained to help her deal with things that are specific to her condition.

@qbetzforreal Thank you, I did check this out. Support dogs do not have the same "rights" as service dogs. They can be denied access to places a service dog would be able to go.

Otherwise, you are talking about a pet.
@Sooner Yes, you are right this would be a very expensive "family pet". All of her doctors believe this could be a life changing thing for her.

She is what they call treatment resistant meaning none of the meds work for her, they do nothing. So, having a service dog is something we have not tried yet and it doesn’t involve meds. This is a huge commitment for all of us, financially and emotionally.
I didn’t post details because I don’t like my post to be so long that people don’t want to read it. I do want to thank you for your response explaining why you felt the way you did.
It is not necessary for you to divulge very personal information about your daughter to strangers on a shopping forum. Her diagnosis/medical histiory is no one's business!
