Considering Medication and a Service Dog for PTSD

I've been wanting to get my dog trained for service work because she can pick up on when I go into an episode/attack and she knows what to do to get me out of it. tonight I had numerous back to back and I am considering talking to my doctor about getting me meds and a letter for my dog. any advice?

Hey I have a service animal and please keep in mind there is no official registery because some places will try to tell you that your animal has to be registered. All you need is a letter from your doctor. Something else I'd like to add is training for a service animal. You can train your own or get someone else to do it. If you decide to go with a company they will make you pay around $2,000.
