Sure, but he can't legally say that is the reason. He can legally say "poor work performance" and dump you as he couldn't care less why these days.
I know a legally blind man where I used to work. After the company had spent several $10,000s on assistance devices for him as required by ADA, they got tired of the expense and deliberately wrote a "poor work performance" review on him that most employees I discussed it with thought was faked, so they could fire him, bypass ADA, and save the money.

∙ 8y agoIf your condition affects your ability to contribute effectively at work, the people employing you will eventually have to terminate your employment.
However, in most countries, if you have been employed beyond your probationary period, the labor laws will require your employer to see if they can help you with your illness and hold your job open for a reasonable period while you are sick to give you a chance to recover. They will have a process to follow before dismissing you.
If you feel you are ill with anxiety issues, I would encourage you to seek help from a qualified medical practitioner (a Doctor) as soon as possible. Your employer will need to know that you are seeking help for yourself for them to be able to support you at work.
