GAD-7 Anxiety Test

The GAD-7 (the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7) is a validated screening tool used by GPs, psychologists, and psychiatrists to help identify symptoms of anxiety and worry.

It is designed to be taken by people aged 14 years and older.

Free and anonymous

You don't need to provide your name or contact details to do the test and view your results.

2–3 minutes

The test includes 7 short questions about your feelings of anxiety and worry over the last 2 weeks.

Instant score

Your results are calculated when you complete all questions and submit the test.

After completing the test you will receive...

  • A score indicating the level of your anxiety symptoms: minimal, mild, moderate, or severe.
  • An indication of whether your symptoms might benefit from professional support.
  • Possible next steps and links to helpful resources.

How to complete the GAD-7 Anxiety Test

To complete the test:

  • Read each statement and select from “Not at all” to “Nearly every day” to show how much the statement applied to you over the past two weeks.
  • Answer all 7 questions.

Can I retake the test?

You can retake the online anxiety test as often as you like to track your progress. However, we recommend waiting at least 2 weeks between screenings so you can compare changes in symptoms over time.

Important: this is not a diagnosis

The GAD-7 is a screening tool to help identify symptoms. It does not provide a diagnosis. Only a qualified healthcare provider can make a clinical diagnosis.
