You can file a WC claim but most employers and carriers almost automatically deny psyche claims. It will take many months before the WCAB would make a decision. You need to contact some WC applicants attorneys to see if they will take your case. But it may also mean that you will never be able to go back to work at that company.
I agree with Mr. Shers. Work stress cases are tough and you need a good attorney. But each case is different and the strength of your case depends on the facts of your particular situation.
It all depends on many factors primarily how severe your anxiety is and whether is work-related.
