GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale)

Take the free GAD-7 anxiety screening online — 7 quick questions, instant scoring guidance, and clear cutoffs for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety.

Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams & Löwe (2006)

How to score

Each of the 7 items is scored 0–3, for a total range of 0–21. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 are cutoffs for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety. A score of 10 or above generally warrants further clinical evaluation.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis — interpret alongside a clinician.
