Take an Anxiety Test
Do you often feel worried, restless, tense, or unable to switch off your thoughts? Anxiety can affect the way you think, feel, sleep, concentrate, and manage everyday activities.
Before You Begin
Think about how you have been feeling during the last 2 weeks and choose the answer that best describes your experience.
There are no right or wrong answers. Try to answer each question as honestly as possible.
How Have You Been Feeling Over the Last 2 Weeks?
Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?
How Does the Anxiety Test Work?
This screening asks about several common experiences associated with anxiety, including excessive worry, nervousness, restlessness, difficulty relaxing, irritability, and fear.
Answer Based on the Last 2 Weeks
For each question, select the response that best represents how frequently you have experienced the symptom during the past two weeks. Try to answer every question before moving to the next step.
Understand Your Screening Result
Your responses are used to calculate a screening score based on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale (GAD-7). The GAD-7 is an established self-report measure developed to help identify and assess the severity of anxiety symptoms. Research has demonstrated its reliability and validity as a screening measure. A screening score is not the same as a diagnosis. Anxiety symptoms can occur for different reasons, and a psychiatrist considers your wider history and circumstances before making a clinical assessment.
When Can a Psychiatric Assessment Help?
Consider speaking with a mental health professional if anxiety symptoms: continue over time, feel difficult to manage, affect your sleep or concentration, interfere with work, studies, or daily activities, affect your relationships, or cause significant emotional or physical discomfort. A psychiatrist can explore your symptoms and help identify an appropriate care plan based on your individual needs.
