Free anxiety self-check (GAD-7)
A quick, private check based on the GAD-7. Free, scored on your device, and yours to keep.
This is a free screening tool, not a diagnosis. It can help you notice patterns and decide whether to reach out. Your answers stay on your device; nothing is sent or saved.
What this check measures
The GAD-7 asks about common signs of anxiety over the past two weeks: worry that is hard to switch off, restlessness, irritability, and a sense that something bad might happen. Your answers add up to a single score from 0 to 21.
How the scoring works
Each answer is worth 0 to 3 points. The higher the total, the more anxiety symptoms you are reporting. These bands are a common way to read the result:
| Score | What it suggests |
|---|---|
| 0–4 | Minimal anxiety |
| 5–9 | Mild anxiety |
| 10–14 | Moderate anxiety |
| 15–21 | Severe anxiety |
What it cannot tell you
A score cannot diagnose anxiety or any other condition, and it cannot see the context around your life. It is a prompt for reflection and, if the number is worrying you, a good reason to talk with your doctor or a counsellor.
This is a free anxiety self-check based on the GAD-7, one of the most widely used anxiety screening questionnaires. It has 7 questions, takes about two minutes, and is scored the moment you finish, privately, in your browser. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.
Questions people ask
Is this an anxiety diagnosis?
No. The GAD-7 is a screening tool that measures anxiety symptoms; it does not diagnose. A high score is a good reason to talk with a professional, not a conclusion on its own.
How accurate is the GAD-7?
It is one of the most studied and widely used anxiety screening questionnaires, and it is good at flagging when anxiety symptoms are worth a closer look. Like any screener, it is a starting point, not the whole picture.
Who sees my answers?
No one. The check is scored entirely in your browser, and nothing you answer is sent to us or stored anywhere.
What should I do with my score?
Keep it for yourself, share it with your doctor or counsellor, or bring it to a review with Sean. If your score is high or things feel urgent, please reach out to a professional soon.
