Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) is a screening tool used to identify and measure the severity of generalized anxiety disorder. It consists of seven questions that assess how often individuals experience anxiety-related symptoms over the past two weeks. Each question is scored from 0 to 3, allowing healthcare providers to evaluate the level of anxiety and determine if further assessment or treatment is needed. The GAD-7 is widely used in clinical settings due to its simplicity and effectiveness. A higher total score indicates more severe anxiety symptoms, helping clinicians tailor interventions and support for individuals experiencing anxiety challenges.
