Take a free GAD-7 anxiety self-assessment online. Get your anxiety score and coping recommendations. Private, no signup, clinically validated.
The GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale) is the most widely used clinical anxiety screening tool — the same questionnaire your doctor uses. It takes 2 minutes to complete and gives you a score that categorizes your anxiety level. Our tool runs completely privately in your browser with no data stored or transmitted.
GAD-7 score interpretation: 0-4 Minimal anxiety — no clinical concern. 5-9 Mild anxiety — monitor symptoms, consider stress management. 10-14 Moderate anxiety — consider talking to a healthcare provider. 15-21 Severe anxiety — professional evaluation recommended. This tool is for self-awareness not clinical diagnosis.
Research-supported approaches: Diaphragmatic breathing (activates parasympathetic nervous system, immediate effect), Progressive muscle relaxation, Cognitive reframing of anxious thoughts, Regular aerobic exercise (reduces anxiety symptoms 20-30% in studies), Limiting caffeine and alcohol, and 7-9 hours of sleep consistently. Professional therapy like CBT remains most effective for moderate to severe anxiety.
A GAD-7 score of 0-4 is considered minimal and is within the normal range. Brief periods of anxiety in response to real stressors like job interviews, medical appointments, or major life changes are normal human responses. Persistent anxiety that interferes with daily functioning warrants professional support.
Seek professional help if: anxiety persists most days for 6+ months, it interferes with work, relationships, or daily activities, you experience panic attacks, you are using alcohol or substances to cope, or your GAD-7 score is 10 or above. Primary care doctors and therapists both treat anxiety effectively.
The GAD-7 is a validated clinical screening tool used worldwide with strong reliability. However self-administered assessments can be influenced by how you feel on a particular day. Use the result as one data point not a diagnosis. A consistent score of 10+ over multiple weeks is more meaningful than a single assessment.
