Veterinary science has made massive strides in psychopharmacology. Medications like SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) are now used alongside behavioral training to treat severe anxiety and OCD in animals. Understanding the neurobiology of the animal brain allows veterinarians to prescribe treatments that rebalance brain chemistry, making training and rehabilitation possible.

By solving behavioral issues, veterinarians keep pets in homes and out of shelters, strengthening the human-animal bond that provides significant mental health benefits to people.
