As part of this blog, I provide readers with access to the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) scale, a widely recognized self-assessment tool for screening and tracking symptoms of anxiety. The questionnaire is brief—just seven questions—and is designed to help you reflect on how often you’ve experienced common signs of anxiety, such as restlessness, excessive worry, or difficulty relaxing, over the past two weeks.
Your responses generate a simple score that can give you an indication of whether your symptoms fall in the mild, moderate, or severe range of anxiety. This tool is not a diagnosis, but rather a starting point for self-awareness and, if needed, a prompt to seek professional guidance.
Taking a few minutes to complete the GAD-7 can help you:
- Better understand your current level of anxiety.
- Track changes in your symptoms over time.
- Share structured information with a healthcare professional if you choose to seek support.
How to Take the Test
- Answer each question based on how often you’ve experienced the listed feelings or symptoms in the past two weeks.
- Be as honest as possible—there are no right or wrong answers.
- Once you finish, you’ll immediately see your result on the screen.
Understanding Your Result
- Lower scores suggest minimal or mild anxiety.
- Mid-range scores may point to moderate levels of anxiety.
- Higher scores indicate that anxiety symptoms may be more severe and impacting daily life.
