Am I qualified for a service dog? How do I go about it?

[jordi]

Hi,

I'm 16 and have a decent amount of medical problems. I have a very rare, bad case of Vasovagal Syncope. POTS. I have Simple Partial Seizures. Anxiety. Panic attacks, And my doctors have not formally diagnosed me with PTSD, however 3 of them think I have it, and are sending me to a psychiatrist for an evaluation. (I also have Asthma, although it's seasonal so it isn't a huge issue.)

My question is, do I qualify for a service dog? I have a bichon, and she is a little older, she's 8. But in very good condition medically, and she calms me down a lot, which is good because all of my problems are stress related. She also seems to act weird before I begin to feel bad or have any episodes, which I have read online is something that can't be trained in a dog, it's just something that a service dog would or would not do naturally.

So my questions are..
If I am qualified, how would I go about that? I live in Virginia, if certain laws are different.

Thank you so much for your replies, in advance.
Anything you know will help me because I know nothing about this, at all..
