Self-Test for Anxiety

Understand and evaluate your anxiety level using the Self-Test for Anxiety.

Introduction

The Self-Test for Anxiety is a helpful tool designed to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms in individuals. Utilizing the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) screening tool, this test measures common anxiety-related symptoms and provides insights into the potential need for professional evaluation and treatment.

Development and Validation

The GAD-7 was developed by Drs. Robert L. Spitzer, Janet B. W. Williams, and Kurt Kroenke, with an education grant from Pfizer, Inc. It is widely used in both clinical and research settings to identify generalized anxiety disorder and to measure the severity of symptoms. The scale has undergone rigorous validation processes, ensuring its reliability and accuracy in various populations.

Structure of the Scale

The GAD-7 consists of 7 questions, each rated on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The total score ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms. The scale is designed to capture the frequency of anxiety-related issues such as feeling nervous, worrying, and trouble relaxing.
