Anxiety Test – GAD‑7
July 25, 2026
Anxiety is a normal part of life, but sometimes it becomes frequent, intense, or difficult to control. When worry, tension, restlessness, irritability, trouble concentrating, or a constant sense of “what if something goes wrong?” starts affecting sleep, work, relationships, or daily life, it may be helpful to pause and check in with yourself.
The GAD-7 is a short, scientifically validated online anxiety test used to screen for symptoms of generalized anxiety. It includes 7 questions about how often, over the past 2 weeks, you have experienced common signs of anxiety, such as excessive worry, nervousness, difficulty relaxing, and fear that something bad might happen.
This test does not diagnose an anxiety disorder and does not replace support from a psychologist, psychotherapist, or doctor. But it can be a useful first step toward understanding your current level of anxiety and whether your symptoms are minimal, mild, moderate, or severe.
After completing the GAD-7 test, you’ll receive your score and practical recommendations to support your emotional and mental well-being. The test takes only 2–3 minutes.
