Animals are old friends of ours. We get many benefits from the company of animals. Besides many services that we get from animals, the sole company of an animal can have many benefits for people. There are many studies that have proven that the unconditional love of an animal is very beneficial for a person with mental disabilities. An animal that is used to get emotional and psychological benefits is called the Emotional Support Animal. An ESA letter has legal authenticity and is considered as a part of medication.

Visit a Registered Mental Health Doctor

You need to visit a licenced therapist practising in Massachusetts. They will ask you about the nature of your disability. You are also required to tell the history of your symptoms. After one or more sessions with you, your doctor may recommend an emotional support animal. But it is solely at the discretion of your therapist to decide the nature of medication for you. If they think an ESA can help you, they will issue you an ESA letter for housing. Your ESA letter is the legal document that allows you to go on no-animal places with your ESA. You will be able to get an apartment in a no-animal building. You will also be able to travel with your ESA.

Here one thing to remember that according to the ESA laws in Massachusetts, your ESA is considered a part of your medication that is why it is allowed to go on no-animal places. But it is your responsibility that your ESA must behave well in public places. If your ESA harms someone around you, the sole responsibility of damage will be upon you and you have to pay for the damage.

Get Your Emotional Support Animal Letter at Your Doorstep

There is the possibility that your mental health doctor may refuse to grant an ESA letter and suggest you with other medications. You do not need to waste your time and money to make visits to your nearby therapists.
