GAD-7 Anxiety Assessment
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is a widely used, evidence-based screening tool designed to assess the presence and severity of anxiety symptoms. It consists of seven simple questions that evaluate how often you have experienced common symptoms of anxiety over the past two weeks, including excessive worry, nervousness, difficulty relaxing, restlessness, irritability, and feelings of fear. At Bright Mind Mental Health, we use the GAD-7 as part of a comprehensive mental health evaluation to better understand your emotional well-being and guide personalized care. The results help our providers identify the severity of anxiety symptoms, monitor progress over time, and develop individualized treatment plans when appropriate.
