On this occasion we echo the article published in "The Coversation" that discusses the benefits of living with pets for our brain. In this article, whose link we share below, Professor Nuria Máximo points out, based on scientific literature, that living with pets can have a preventive effect on the development of serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. She also expresses that dog therapy has been shown to be effective in treating depression. All this information and the details of the research carried out on animal-assisted therapies are detailed in the full article that is available here.
