How It Works:

The tool uses the GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale), a simple questionnaire designed to assess the severity of anxiety over the past two weeks. Here’s how it works:

Answer Questions: You’ll be asked a series of questions related to anxiety, including feelings of nervousness, trouble relaxing, and excessive worry. Each question has a scale from “Not at all” to “Nearly every day”.
Logical Flow: Based on your answers, the tool will adapt and present additional questions or advice tailored to your responses. It may also ask logical questions to better understand your emotional state.
Get Your Results: Once you complete the questions, the tool will calculate a total score from 0 to 21. This score will categorize your anxiety level as:
- 0-4: Minimal Anxiety
- 5-9: Mild Anxiety
- 10-14: Moderate Anxiety
- 15-21: Severe Anxiety
Receive Personalized Tips: Based on your score, you will receive tailored recommendations to help manage anxiety. These might include relaxation techniques, lifestyle tips, or encouragement to seek professional help if necessary.

Understanding the GAD-7:

The GAD-7 questionnaire is a clinically validated tool used to measure anxiety levels. It is commonly used by healthcare providers worldwide to help assess whether someone may be experiencing Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The GAD-7 asks about symptoms like:

Feeling nervous or on edge
Worrying excessively about various things
Trouble relaxing
Restlessness

Your score will help determine whether your anxiety is at a minimal, mild, moderate, or severe level, which can guide you in taking the appropriate next steps.

Important Notes:

Confidentiality: We respect your privacy. The responses you provide are only used to generate your results and are not stored on our site.

Tips for Managing Anxiety:

Based on your results, the tool may suggest some of the following tips to manage anxiety:

Relaxation Techniques: Engage in deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help calm your mind.
