can my obgyn

Can my obgyn write me a letter stating that i need my emotion service animal. I'm moving and i talked to a resident today i saw she had a puppy and i asked is pets allowed she said no you need a letter. well I'm scared to death of spirits i have anxiety and depression but i am not on medication sense I'm pregnant anyways i have to have all my windows covered i always thinks someone's out there and any noise i hear i think is a spirit and if my cat is not with me i end up wishing i wasn't too old to hop in bed with my parents i can't sleep at all I'm so scared i sleep facing the opposite direction of my cat so we both are like garding sides animals can see spirits and go haywire if they see one so i feel so much safer with my cat standing gard. my mom was put on xanax for pretty much the same reason there is family history of this. anyways my insurance will only cover my obgyn and all the land lord needs is a letter can my obgyn write it? and please don't tell me I'm silly to think spirits are real or anything like that ppl have different beliefs and i suffer from anxiety so yes I'm always paranoid.

Yes she should be able to for the fact that anxiety can affect the baby...most will do things like that...they went to med school so all obgyn are medical doctors to just talk to the doc. And as far as spirits I am with u on that so I will never judge anyone for beliefs.

I was put on kalotipins and that made me worse then i was put on zoloft and that only helped with depression not anxiety. i also have a constant need to take care of others that's why I'm addicted to this app i can help others all day on here, he helps with my anxiety and depression with out having to be "high" on pills i don't wanna be like that taking care of my baby.

your obgyn can refer you to a psychologist which your insurance should cover if its a referral and your ob stats it is necessary and they can write it for you..

You need to just ask your OB. I think they would call this a Emotional Support Animal which you can get certification for. You will probably have to pay for somebody else to write the letter...like a therapist since your issues are emotional/mental related and not pregnancy related. Good luck to you.
