That's one of the reasons I advocate for psychiatrist service dog for psychotic symptoms.

My NP suggested I get a service dog to recognize when I’m having dissociative/psychotic symptoms (particularly flashbacks and hallucinations). I think it’s a great idea, I just would have trouble funding/housing/caring for an emotional support hermit crab right now let alone a service dog.
It’s amazing the things dogs can be trained for though. They can sense changes in blood sugar/pressure, detect allergies, alert to seizure/fainting, they can do deep pressure therapy to help with severe anxiety, hell, they’ll even clean your mouth out if you vomit while unconscious before you choke on it and die. I’m always amazed reading about the things they can be trained to do and under what circumstances. There’s a book about a golden retriever that got a blind guy out of one of the towers during the 9/11 attacks that was a really amazing story. Most people were freaking out, you know just about every dog on the planet would be shytting bricks, and there was little Roselle, guiding Michelle down the stairs of this collapsing building that was under attack.

Funding and care is what's stopping me right now we're not ready but because they're considered medical expenses they go on your deductions for housing and food stamps. Owner trained ( doesn't mean without a service dog trainer) is cheaper than program trainer but still a lot of work.
