GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7)

The GAD-7 is a short, standardized questionnaire used by healthcare professionals to assess the severity of generalized anxiety disorder. It consists of 7 questions about common anxiety symptoms experienced over the past two weeks, such as feeling nervous, worrying excessively, or having trouble relaxing. Each item is scored on a scale from 0 ("not at all") to 3 ("nearly every day"), with higher total scores indicating greater anxiety severity. It helps clinicians determine if anxiety is affecting your daily life and guides treatment decisions. The GAD-7 is a reliable, quick tool for screening and monitoring anxiety symptoms.
