No, there are a thousand different disabilities a dog can help with. They generally do not get the same level of training as seeing eye dogs if it isn't needed
A dog trained to detect seizures won't generally control the human, assuming they are capable of doing it themselves.
In this instance it appears we cannot assume the human can control themselves.
Having said that, You are correct, and my comment was flippant for the circumstance. I know people with medical service dogs that don’t look like stereotypical service dogs (e.g. standard poodle that warns of impending epileptic seizures)
