Anxiety self-check

The GAD-7 is a seven-question screening questionnaire that doctors widely use to check for anxiety.

This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. Only a health professional can diagnose depression or anxiety. Your answers stay on this device: they aren't saved, sent, or added to the page address, and they disappear when you leave the page.

If you're thinking about hurting yourself, don't wait to finish: call or text 988, or call 911 if you are in immediate danger.
