Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

GAD is a common mental health condition marked by excessive worry, restlessness, and physical tension. People with GAD often feel “on edge,” struggle to control their worries, and may experience fatigue, poor concentration, or sleep problems. Recognizing these symptoms early is an important step toward effective treatment and better quality of life.

GAD-7 Questionnaire

The GAD-7 was created as a brief self-report tool to help detect symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and measure their severity.

  • Format

    7 questions rated on a 0–3 scale, reflecting how often symptoms have occurred over the past two weeks.

  • Authors

    Developed by Drs. Robert L. Spitzer, Janet B.W. Williams, Kurt Kroenke, and colleagues, widely recognized experts in psychiatric assessment.

  • Purpose

    To provide a fast, evidence-based way to identify anxiety symptoms and guide whether further clinical evaluation is needed.
Important
The GAD-7 is a self-assessment tool, not a diagnostic test. A high score doesn’t automatically mean you have GAD. Only a licensed mental health professional can confirm a diagnosis and recommend treatment options.

When the GAD-7 Is Used

The GAD-7 is widely applied in both clinical practice and self-check scenarios. It may be especially useful for:

  • Individuals experiencing persistent worry or nervousness

  • People noticing physical signs of stress, such as muscle tension or fatigue

  • Patients dealing with sleep disturbances linked to anxiety

  • General screenings in healthcare settings to detect anxiety disorders early
