Animal-assisted therapy can be beneficial for individuals with schizophrenia, as interacting with animals can help reduce stress and anxiety. Dogs and cats are commonly used in therapy for schizophrenia due to their calming presence and ability to provide companionship. Additionally, horses, rabbits, and guinea pigs have also been found to be helpful in animal-assisted therapy for individuals with schizophrenia. Ultimately, the best animal for therapy will depend on the individual's preferences and needs.
