Do you think anxiety is a good reason to get disability?

I’ve been suffering from severe anxiety all my life. Worse now that I’m older. I’ve had jobs but end up quitting because of my panic attacks. I can’t seem to hold a job because of this. I’m currently on medication and receiving counseling because of my disorder. Someone suggested to me that disability my be a good option for me, I’m seriously considering it. I just feel like so many people think anxiety is made up, but I know it’s very very real. I guess I’m just trying to get some input from outside people.
