The GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale) is a brief questionnaire used in clinics to screen for generalized anxiety and to track how symptoms change with treatment. Each question is scored from 0 to 3, for a total of 0 to 21.
Scores of 5, 10 and 15 are the cut-offs for mild, moderate and severe anxiety. A score of 10 or more is a common threshold for a closer look. The GAD-7 also picks up other common anxiety conditions, such as panic disorder and social anxiety, though it cannot tell them apart.
