I have a service dog for bipolar and PTSD. I couldn't ever imagine not having her by my side now and wish I had looked into the benefits much sooner.
We adopted Brooklyn from the local shelter and trained her ourselves. Training is on the honor system according to the federal government. If you are out with a service dog you are.saying they are trained.
You can register a dog with many places online for upwards of $100 but this is not required or necessary.
Our dog, Brooklyn, started out as an emotional support animal which only needs a note from your therapist. Then I trains her to help me. She never leaves my side an has helped so much.
