Anxiety is a legit medical condition. Like pain or many others things, severity varies along a spectrum. Anxiety can run the gamut from everyday nervousness to life-limiting, chronic anxiety or panic attacks. Like pain, some anxiety will need to be medicated (or require a service dog) and some requires no more than some Tylenol/band aid type attention.
I definitely understand, I’ve had it along with full blown panic attacks that were completely debilitating. Saw a doctor, psychiatrist, and shrink. Took klonopins which did wonders but the withdrawals from them were absolute hell.
That doesn’t mean that it’s a condition for a dog to be brought on a damned plane though. Seizures and other things that could kill you I’m sort of ok with but kind of not. Otherwise no. You put other people’s lives in danger who may be allergic. Not to mention allllll of the other normal people that don’t want to sit next to a damned animal.

Hi David (mr.gnome) thanks for sharing and I’m sorry you went through that
The thing is, the presence of dogs in the airport, both for service and for security work, negates the allergy argument.
If a person has severe anxiety, a dog can perform several functions. For social anxiety, the dog may be trained to put space between a person and someone approaching them, to alert the owner when someone is coming up from behind, or even to sense heart rhythm changes that can signal a building panic attack.
