Take Our GAD-7 Questionnaire to Learn Your Anxiety Score
The ManageMinds anxiety questionnaire provides you with your own personal anxiety score. This number enables you to understand more about your anxiety levels and the most suitable treatment for you.

If you’re considering treatment for anxiety, it’s useful to first ascertain the level of anxiety you are experiencing. This will help you to determine the type and frequency of treatment that will be most effective for your particular needs.
Thankfully, you don’t have to wait weeks for a GP appointment to find your answer. There are a number of research-supported self-assessment tests for conditions like anxiety and depression. One of the most famous of these tests is the GAD-7.
What is GAD-7?
GAD-7 is a short questionnaire, created by Robert Spitzer et al, designed to screen for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). It remains the most common self-report questionnaire for anxiety. For those looking for an assessment of their anxiety level, this test is a great starting point. Indeed, it is recognised across the globe by various medical authorities, including the NHS.
We're pleased to say that ManageMinds has created our very own version of GAD-7, which you can access in the box below. The test is made up of 7 questions, each of which ask you to reflect on your mental state over the past 2 weeks. It’s very easy to use and takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
At the end of the test, you will be given an anxiety score between 0 and 21. Your score corresponds to an anxiety level. Our questionnaire uses 4 markers when assessing anxiety levels:
- Minimal 0-4
- Mild 5-9
- Moderate 10-14
- Severe 15+
For more background information on the test, you can check out our article on the reliability of GAD-7.
