Feeling anxious is a very natural human experience. Taking this screening is a brave act of self-understanding.

Feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. If anxiety is interfering with daily life, please consult a professional.

GAD-7 screens your anxiety over the last two weeks — it is not a diagnosis

The GAD-7 is a seven-item self-screening scale that asks how often, over the past two weeks, you have experienced excessive worry, tension, restlessness, and anxiety that feels hard to control. This test gives a reference range for anxiety intensity and daily impact; it does not replace diagnosis or treatment decisions. Only a licensed professional can diagnose and treat anxiety disorders.

What it measures

Seven items

Nervousness, difficulty controlling worry, too many worries, trouble relaxing, restlessness, irritability, and fear.

Two-week window

Responses are summed across the last two weeks and read as minimal, mild, moderate, or severe ranges, not absolute cutoffs.

Screening ≠ diagnosis

A higher score is a reason to consider support, not proof that you have an anxiety disorder.

Frequently asked questions

Can this result diagnose anxiety?

No. GAD-7 is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Diagnosis and treatment are made by a licensed clinician after assessing symptoms, impairment, context, and other possible causes.

My score is high. What should I do?

If your score is moderate or higher, or worry and tension are disrupting daily life, consider talking with a professional. Sleep, caffeine, stress, and physical health can also affect anxiety.

My anxiety feels overwhelming or unsafe.

If you may hurt yourself or cannot stay safe, seek immediate help. In the US, call or text 988. In Korea, call 109 or 1577-0199. Elsewhere, contact local emergency services now.
