Did you know there has only been one study on the efficacy of emotional support animals? And it only had 11 participants? Here's why the science behind these pets seems too weak to support the many regulations allowing them, writes herzoghal
The study is important because it is the first attempt to measure the impact of emotional support animals in real-world settings. And it demonstrated the feasibility of conducting more rigorous longitudinal investigations of ESAs. But because of the limitations, it
did not show that emotional support animals have"proven benefits" for people suffering from mental illnesses., attorney Tara Waterlander noted that Congress enacted legislation giving emotional support animals access to housing and free air travel based on the supposition that there is “ substantial and medical evidence that emotional support animals are effective forms of treatment for various disabilitiesYet, this is not the case. In reality, there is little or no empirical evidence demonstrating that air travel with, or living with, emotional support animals ameliorates psychological disorders. Indeed, both regulatory agencies and mental health organizations are having reservations about the use of emotional support animals.
The American Psychiatric Association is also skeptical of the efficacy of emotional support animals. In“Given the limited evidence supporting ESAs, it is ethically permissible to decline to write ESA certification letters for patients.” In short, there are a lot of reasons to have a pet in your life. But as of yet, there is no convincing evidence that emotional support animals are necessary for people with mental disorders to board an airplane or live in a college dorm.Hoy-Gerlach, J., Vincent, A., Scheuermann, B., & Ojha, M. .
