This free anxiety test uses the GAD-7 — a short, clinically validated questionnaire used worldwide to screen for generalised anxiety. It takes under two minutes, runs entirely in your browser, and asks for no sign-up and no email.

Over the last 2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?

Important: This is an educational screening tool, not a diagnostic instrument. It cannot diagnose any condition. Your score is a snapshot of how you have felt recently — share it with a doctor or mental-health professional, who can give you a real assessment and next steps.

What this test measures

The GAD-7 asks about seven core symptoms of anxiety — nervousness, uncontrollable worry, trouble relaxing, restlessness, irritability, and a sense of dread — over the past two weeks. Your answers are summed into a single score from 0 to 21 that maps to a severity band used in clinical settings.
