Yes, animals can experience mental illnesses. Just like humans, animals can suffer from various mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and phobias. These conditions may be caused by genetics, trauma, or environmental factors. It is important for pet owners to be aware of the signs of mental illness in animals and seek help from a veterinarian or animal behaviorist if needed.
