Generalized Anxiety Disorder seven item scale is a brief questionnaire that captures how often anxiety symptoms have affected you in the past two weeks. It helps you notice overall burden and whether worry or bodily signs feel more prominent so you can decide on self care or a conversation with a clinician.
You answer seven frequency questions from not at all to nearly every day and then rate how difficult any problems have made daily life. The result is a total score with a plain language band and two subscores that hint at cognitive and somatic patterns.
A realistic example is marking several days for worry and irritability and not at all for restlessness which could total nine points and land in a mild band. Repeat the screen under comparable circumstances and look for steady moves rather than single jumps.
Use consistent recall of the last two weeks and answer in the same setting for clearer comparisons. If your situation changes quickly consider writing brief notes so later responses reflect the same timeframe and context.
This tool provides informational estimates and does not substitute professional advice. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis. If safety is a concern seek immediate help in your region.
The seven scored items measure frequency of anxiety‑related experiences over a two‑week window. The questionnaire yields a single total and two indicative subscores labeled cognitive and somatic to describe worry‑dominant versus arousal‑dominant patterns. The eighth difficulty item reflects functional impact and is not included in the total.
Computation is a simple sum of the seven scored responses where each item is coded 0 for not at all, 1 for several days, 2 for more than half the days, and 3 for nearly every day. The cognitive subscore adds items 1, 2, 3, and 7, and the somatic subscore adds items 4, 5, and 6. Subscore intensity labels are mapped to quartiles of each subscore’s maximum.
Results are interpreted against four bands that indicate burden and a possible next step. Values near a boundary can feel similar in day to day life, so use trends and functional difficulty to guide action rather than a single cutoff.
Comparisons are most meaningful within the same person when recall period, time of day, and context match. Population norms are not used here; bands and subscore labels follow the thresholds encoded below.
| Symbol | Meaning | Unit/Datatype | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | Total score across seven items | integer 0–21 | Derived |
| qi | Item response for item i | integer 0–3 | Input |
| C | Cognitive subscore (items 1, 2, 3, 7) | integer 0–12 | Derived |
| A | Somatic subscore (items 4, 5, 6) | integer 0–9 | Derived |
| d | Difficulty rating | integer 0–3 | Input |
Worked example
S = 9 maps to the mild band. Cognitive and somatic subscores help explain whether worry or bodily arousal is more prominent.
| Severity band | Lower bound | Upper bound | Interpretation | Action cue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimal | 0 | 4 | Low symptom burden | Maintain helpful routines |
| Mild | 5 | 9 | Light burden | Try self care strategies |
| Moderate | 10 | 14 | Meaningful burden | Consider guided support |
| Severe | 15 | 21 | High burden | Seek professional evaluation |

Processing is client‑only; answers do not leave the device. A compact URL parameter can optionally store responses, which makes state shareable if you copy the link.
Computation is constant time for scoring and instantaneous for rendering given the small fixed number of items.
Identical inputs always produce identical outputs. Prefilling via the URL yields the same score, band, and subscores as manual entry.
Answers are handled on the device and are not transmitted or stored server‑side. Consider local privacy when sharing a stateful link. Health information is sensitive; follow applicable privacy guidance in your region.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder seven item scale scoring produces a total and bands you can interpret quickly.
Example: 2, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2 with difficulty somewhat difficult produces S = 9 and a mild band.
You now have a concise snapshot and next steps you can act on.
Processing happens on the device and nothing is sent to a server. If you share a link that encodes responses, anyone with it can see those values.
The total is an exact sum of item values from 0 to 3. Bands reflect thresholds encoded here. Use trends and functional impact to guide actions near cutoffs.
All values are integers. The total runs from 0 to 21. Cognitive and somatic subscores range 0 to 12 and 0 to 9 respectively.
Yes. Scoring and display work without a connection. Copy and download features rely on device capabilities available without network access.
Scores near a boundary often feel similar. Check difficulty, look at subscores for pattern hints, and repeat under similar conditions to see direction over time.
Use a query string with ?r= followed by seven or eight characters where each is 0, 1, 2, 3, or - for blank. Invalid strings are ignored.
