I know some animals can have depression and anxiety, but those are pretty basic disorders compared to stuff like By Proxy. Do animals deal with this stuff or are their brains not big/advanced enough?
In: Biology
They can but not likely as often/heavily as humans do. Mental disorders tend to come from complex environmental and societal events that usually coincide with human life. Animals have their own everyday stresses and complexities therefore can develop mental disorders but its is not as often/there has to be some type of physical or mental push the animal faces to develop one.
