Pets can help with anxiety in various ways. Having a pet can provide companionship, reduce feelings of loneliness, and offer comfort through physical touch like petting or cuddling. The presence of a pet can also help reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Additionally, caring for a pet can provide a sense of purpose and routine, which can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety. The unconditional love and non-judgmental support from a pet can also improve overall mood and mental well-being.
