The difference between the two dates in PostgreSQL
Is there an equivalent to this T-SQL command in PostgreSQL?
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM [dbo].[LayerTable]
where layerType=3
and created >= Dateadd(Month, Datediff(Month, 0, DATEADD(m, -6, current_timestamp))),0)
I have found date_part() and extract function() but not working.

No everybody that knows Postgres will know what that T-SQL query is doing. Can you explain in words what thedateadd()
function is doing? Does it add six months tocurrent_timestamp
?

DATEADD (datepart , number , date ) : Returns a new datetime value by adding an interval to the specified datepart of the specified date. DATEDIFF ( datepart , startdate , enddate ) : Returns the number of date or time datepart boundaries, crossed between two specified dates.

Your SQL seems to be invalid: When I runselect Dateadd(Month, Datediff(Month, 0, DATEADD(m, -6, current_timestamp))))
I get an error "The dateadd function requires 3 argument(s).": dbfiddle.uk/…

Looks like this is simply subtracting 6 months from current_timestamp, so the equivalent would be:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM dbo.layer_table
where layer_type=3
and created >= current_timestamp - interval '6 months';
If you want the start of the month (rather than the "same" day as "today") as the result use:
created >= date_trunc('month', current_timestamp - interval '6 months')
