Frequently Asked Questions

What is the GAD-7 anxiety test?

The GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item) is a validated screening questionnaire that measures anxiety symptoms over the past two weeks. Scores range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety. It is widely used in clinical settings as a first-step screening tool.

Can this anxiety test diagnose anxiety or panic disorder?

No. This test is an educational screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose an anxiety or panic disorder after a full evaluation. Use your results as a starting point for a conversation with a provider.

What score suggests I should seek help?

On the GAD-7, scores of 5, 10, and 15 represent mild, moderate, and severe anxiety. A score of 10 or higher is a common threshold for further evaluation. If symptoms interfere with daily life, consider speaking with a healthcare professional regardless of your score.

What is the difference between anxiety and a panic attack?

Anxiety is often persistent worry or nervousness, while a panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear with physical symptoms such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, or dizziness. Recurring panic attacks may indicate panic disorder and should be evaluated by a professional.
