Emotional diseases are conditions that result in a clinically-significant disturbance of and organisms cognition, emotional regulation, and/or behavior. In humans, there are many different types of mental disorders. According to the Mayo Clinic It is usually associated with distress or impairment in important areas of functioning.
diseases include conditions
such as anxiety, depression, contagious, cross-species emotional diseases are overwhelming both human and veterinary medical resources. The animals that live in close proximity to humans, as well as those affected by humans via changes in their ecosystem (deforestation, captivity) are susceptible to emotional disease of their own species. Additionally, the emotional disease of the human species may be contagious to other mammalian species.
A mental disorder is characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotional regulation, or behaviour. There are many different types of mental disorders. Mental disorders may also be referred to as mental health conditions. The latter is a broader term covering mental disorders, psychosocial disabilities and (other) mental states associated with significant distress, impairment in functioning, or risk of self-harm.
The operational environments of individual organisms interact and affect the operational environment(s) of other organisms in close proximity.

Offering trauma-aware, family-unit focused veterinary consultations, the Dr. Andre's Medicine of Wonder program proposes a 3-step approach to healing emotional disease in mammals:
- Heal the fear posture
- Establish communication with start/stop behaviors
- Teach the emotion of 'curiosity'

About Dr. Andre
|
As a veterinarian, I am consistently motivated by my desire to help mammals of all species (human and animal) repair and sustain their health and wellbeing. My current professional interests focus on the scientific investigation into novel and emerging medicines for trauma-induced emotional disease in animals, particularly canine post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I specialize in the design of clinically-applicable medical protocols that leverage the human-animal bond (HAB) in family-unit medicine.
I believe that unashamed curiosity will always lead to unexpected and exciting discoveries, but that scientific rigor and scrutiny must never be neglected. |
Dr. Andre also provides harm reduction education to the emerging cannabis and psychedelic ecosystems, supports veterinary professionals with clinically-applicable protocols for managing animal-patients exposed to psychoactive substances, and investigates therapeutic applications for cannabis and psychedelic medicines in veterinary species.
