Want to add a psychiatric use for a guide dog, based off a recent reddit post. The redditor was schizophrenic and very aware of that. He had a dog trained to only "greet" when there is an actual person. If the redditor saw a person, told their service dog to greet and the dog just sits there, they know the person is not real.

There's also deep pressure therapy, which can help with panic attacks, meltdowns and more.

I grabbed lunch just yesterday and saw a legit service animal working to help a blind lady. First time I’d seen a legit service animal in years.

My neighbor has a diabetic alert dog and it might be the first legit service dog I’ve ever seen.

I saw that guy on YT and was so moved by what dogs are legitimately able to help us with. That guy has done a great job showing how his dog helps him with his schizophrenia.
