About this calculator
The Anxiety Level Calculator uses the GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item) scale, a clinically validated screening tool to measure anxiety severity. This calculator helps individuals assess their anxiety levels over the past two weeks by evaluating symptoms like worry, restlessness, and difficulty relaxing. The GAD-7 scoring system provides standardized results ranging from minimal to severe anxiety, making it easier to understand your mental health status and determine if professional consultation may be beneficial for managing anxiety symptoms.
How to use
Answer seven questions about how often you've experienced specific anxiety symptoms over the past two weeks. Rate each symptom on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The calculator automatically totals your responses and provides an anxiety level classification with corresponding recommendations for next steps.
