Free Anxiety Test (GAD-7)
Quick check-in · 10 questions · about 3 minutes
Feeling worried, tense, overwhelmed, panicky or restless lately? This short anxiety and stress self-check helps you take a symptom snapshot and understand whether speaking with a psychologist or counsellor may help. It is a wellbeing check, not a clinical diagnosis.
This self-check uses the GAD-7 (Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7), a widely used and well-validated anxiety screening questionnaire. It is a screening tool for reflection and conversation — not a diagnosis.
Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by each of the above?

What is the GAD-7?
The GAD-7 (Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7) is a seven-item questionnaire used internationally to screen for anxiety and gauge its severity. It asks how often, over the past two weeks, you have been bothered by feeling nervous or on edge, being unable to stop worrying, restlessness, irritability and related experiences. Each item scores 0 to 3, giving a total between 0 and 21.
It takes under two minutes, is free to use, and is one of the most common first steps clinicians take when someone reports persistent worry.
How GAD-7 scores are interpreted
- 0–4 — minimal anxiety
- 5–9 — mild anxiety; common and often manageable with self-care
- 10–14 — moderate anxiety; a professional conversation is advisable
- 15–21 — severe anxiety; we would encourage you to seek support soon
A score of 10 or above is the point at which clinicians usually look more closely. That said, plenty of people below that threshold still find therapy worthwhile — distress does not have to reach a cut-off to deserve attention.
GAD-7, PHQ-9 or DASS-21?
The GAD-7 here measures anxiety specifically. If low mood is the bigger issue, take our PHQ-9 depression test. The DASS-21 covers depression, anxiety and stress in one go. Anxiety and depression very often occur together, so taking both short tests frequently gives a clearer picture than either alone.
