GAD 7 Form

This form is a self-assessment tool designed to help evaluate the presence and severity of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptoms. It consists of seven questions that ask about feelings of nervousness, worry, restlessness, irritability, and fear experienced over the past two weeks. Each question is rated on a scale from 0 to 3, with the total score indicating the level of anxiety, ranging from minimal to severe. The results can help in understanding one’s mental health status and determining whether further professional evaluation may be needed.

Over the last two weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?

Scale:
0 = Not at all   •   1 = Several days   •   2 = More than half the days   •   3 = Nearly every day

1. Feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge
2. Not being able to stop or control worrying
3. Worrying too much about different things
4. Trouble relaxing
5. Being so restless that it is hard to sit still
6. Becoming easily annoyed or irritable
7. Feeling afraid, as if something awful might happen

Scoring GAD-7 Anxiety Severity

This is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 to the response categories, respectively, of “not at all,” “several days,” “more than half the days,” and “nearly every day.” GAD-7 total score for the seven items ranges from 0 to 21.

Interpreting the GAD-7 Total Score:

  • 0–4: Minimal anxiety
  • 5–9: Mild anxiety
  • 10–14: Moderate anxiety
