What Is the GAD-7 Anxiety Test?

The GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) is a clinically validated, 7-question screening tool used worldwide to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms. It was developed by researchers at Pfizer and is widely used by healthcare professionals to quickly identify signs of generalized anxiety disorder.

This self-assessment is based on how often you have experienced common anxiety symptoms over the last two weeks. Your answers generate a score between 0 and 21, which indicates your anxiety level from normal to severe.

How This Anxiety Test Works

This test contains 7 simple questions. Each question has four answer options ranging from “Not at all” to “Nearly every day.” Each answer carries a score from 0 to 3.

  • 0–4: Minimal or no anxiety
  • 5–9: Mild anxiety
  • 10–14: Moderate anxiety
  • 15–21: Severe anxiety

Once you complete the test, you will instantly see your score along with guidance on what it may mean for your mental well-being.

Who Should Take This Anxiety Test?

You should consider taking this test if you often experience:

  • Feeling nervous, anxious, or constantly on edge
  • Excessive worrying or overthinking
  • Difficulty relaxing
  • Trouble sleeping due to racing thoughts
  • Irritability or restlessness
  • Difficulty concentrating because of worry

Is This a Medical Diagnosis?

No. This anxiety test is a self-assessment tool designed for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a medical diagnosis and does not replace professional evaluation.

If your score indicates moderate to severe anxiety, it is strongly recommended that you consult a licensed mental health professional for proper diagnosis and support.
