Woman was struggling with depression and nothing seemed to help until she met a dog who was going through something very similar ❤️‍🩹
We spoke with Taylor, who shared with us how this one dog changed her life forever, so now she was determined to change hers too!
We are celebrating National Pet Month by featuring special dogs like Kaya!

@mr.d.572 I didn't mean that my ocd patients don't like dogs.....I worded that incorrectly. For the ocd patient that has a contamination component ( as opposed to counting, checking, perfection etc)....I can see that they in particular are pretty particular with the cleanliness of their chair and the office in general. The dog just brings another variable to the mix.

I was already diagnosed with severe depression when my mom died. As expected, it became even worse. Got a dog as recommended by my doc. People were dubious whether I could take care of a puppy. Having a dog changed my life. I no longer relied on medication and became happier. Truly, dogs are the best antidepressants!

@Amero2323 4 месяца назад

I'm sorry about your mom. Mine died a few years ago and I inherited the house I grew up in, along with her dog, a boxer whom I absolutely adored. He got hip dysplasia a few months after my mom passed and had to be put down. I've just been kind of existing since then, but I'm hoping I can pull myself together enough to get another dog

I have found that the best remedy for depression is happy music, belly laugh jokes, and gardening. My daily routine uses all of them. My depressed brain needs that stimulation I have discovered. Dancing with my two dogs helps, too!

@ricasears5910 4 месяца назад

It's amazing what animals can do for someone's mental health, from a rat, cat, dog horse, or even pig. They are nonjudgemental, love you unconditionally, and they just somehow know when your having a really shitty day that you need a little TLC and just come for a snuggle. I don't know what I would do without my 2 cats, my ginger tom suffers from really bad anxiety, but everything is on his terms, then we rescued 8wk kitten (black cats are hard to rehome in UK, due to the stigma attached to them ) he's the total opposite and so loving and gentle and knows when your having a bad day.

Kay is a beautiful dog and seems very sweet. You saved her and, I think, she saved you. Her love is unconditional and she will always accept you for who you are. Sharing your life with her beats taking any medication or treatment. A dog’s love heals many ailments, restores confidence, brings happiness and provides companionship. I hope the two of you live a long, healthy and happy life together filled with love. Good luck!! ❤❤❤❤

Lovely❤! I remember reading an article where a woman with multiple health issues lost her cat. Her health that had been stable started to decline. She was talking to her doctor, not a therapist or mental health specialist, I think it may have been her cardiologist., and he said, “Get another cat.” She did almost immediately after he said that & her condition began to improve. Don’t underestimate what love from a pet can do!

For those worried about vet costs. If you open up a high yield savings account e.g 5% interest. And put in $60/month. If vet care is needed, there's usually enough in the account by then.
