GAD-7 Anxiety Screening Test
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is a clinically validated, 7-question tool used worldwide to screen for and measure the severity of anxiety. It is brief, accurate, and recommended in primary care and psychiatry alike.
This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Your score is a starting point for a conversation with a qualified clinician — not a clinical conclusion on its own.
Your answers are scored privately in your browser. Nothing you enter is stored, transmitted, or shared.
