A healthy lifestyle, such as physical activity, can improve both functional abilities and mental health of patients with a dual diagnosis, psychiatric and cognitive. Despite this knowledge, these people are more sedentary than the general population, probably because of their apathy, core aspects of the illness. Animal Assisted Interventions (AAIs) seem to be a valid tool to stimulate them to practice physical exercise thanks to the empathy generated by the relationship with the animal.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>This case study aims to evaluate the effect of 4 months AAIs on apathy and physical efficiency in 2 patients with dual diagnoses.
