GAD-7 Assessment

Pervasive, excessive worry defines Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Clinicians use the seven-item GAD-7 questionnaire to screen its severity. Each item asks how often anxiety symptoms occurred during the past two weeks. Scores guide initial triage and illustrate change over time. Understanding your score helps you choose appropriate coping steps, yet remains only a screener.

This interactive assessment lets you self-rate anxiety symptoms privately and instantly. You answer seven brief questions, then receive a numerical score plus a descriptive severity label. A color-coded bar chart visualises results for quick reference. The tool exists for educational guidance, enabling informed conversations with healthcare professionals about ongoing mental health.

Easily repeat the questionnaire to track symptom trends between appointments. Save or print results to discuss treatment progress. Use the personalised suggestions to explore relaxation exercises, scheduling techniques and professional resources. Consult qualified providers for formal evaluation. Maintain routine self-care while awaiting support. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis.
