What is the GAD-7?

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7) is a widely used diagnostic instrument developed in 2006 to rapidly screen for and evaluate the severity of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). It is commonly utilized by primary care doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists worldwide.

How the GAD-7 Works

The GAD-7 asks you to indicate how frequently you have experienced key anxiety symptoms over the past 2 weeks, such as:

• Feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge
• Not being able to stop or control worrying
• Worrying too much about different things
• Trouble relaxing
• Being so restless that it's hard to sit still
• Becoming easily annoyed or irritable
• Feeling afraid, as if something awful might happen
