however yes as poster above said, unlike service dogs, are only allowed in limited places. however its not as likely to get a service dog for mental health, usually just the ESA

Not true. Many people in the US have service dogs for psychiatric disabilities. It's not uncommon at all. The national emotional animal registry is a scam. There is no national registry of support animals. It's a for-profit scam to make money off of people who don't read the ADA or Fair Housing Act. It's like paying to get into a "Who's Who" book. It has absolutely no legal standing. All you needed was your doctor's note.
ESAs are only allowed in no pets housing, flying, and hotels. That's it. They have no public access rights at all.
