Animals with Anxiety and Depression
Mental Health in Animals
Animals, like humans, can suffer from a variety of mental illnesses, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Veterinarians and animal psychologists agree that animals can experience mental disorders, although not in the same way as humans. The human brain is much more complex than the brain of a mouse, for example.
Symptoms of Mental Illness in Animals
Mental distress in animals can manifest as anxiety, fear, or even violent behavior, depending on the severity of the condition.
Research on Animal Mental Health
There is growing evidence that many animals can suffer from mental health disorders similar to those seen in humans. These animals could help us understand how these disorders develop and how to treat them.
