Based on a recognised Anxiety screening tool
Quick to complete, instant results
Please answer each question as honestly as possible based on how you have felt over the past 6 months.
This self-screening tool is based on the GAD-7 (Generalised Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale), a validated questionnaire used internationally by clinicians and researchers to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms in adults.
It's designed to evaluate how often anxiety-related symptoms have affected you over the past two weeks, from restlessness to difficulty controlling worry. Your results provide useful initial guidance to help determine if a professional anxiety assessment is worthwhile.
Drawn from the GAD-7, a validated anxiety screening instrument recognised by clinicians internationally.
Your score highlights whether your symptoms warrant a closer look. Only a qualified professional can diagnose an anxiety disorder.
If your results suggest possible anxiety, HelloDoc can connect you with a psychologist or psychiatrist for a comprehensive telehealth assessment.
Your score is a reference point, not a verdict; use it to gauge whether further clinical input is worth pursuing.
Minimal expression of symptoms typical of an anxiety disorder. No further action needed unless issues arise.
Mild-to-moderate symptoms of worry, restlessness or tension. Worth discussing with a psychologist or your GP.
A pattern of frequent, recurring symptoms. We recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists.
Speak with a registered psychologist or psychiatrist at HelloDoc for a proper, qualified assessment.
No. This is a screening tool only. Anxiety symptoms can vary widely and overlap with other conditions; only a formal clinical assessment can confirm an official diagnosis.
Around 2 to 5 minutes. It’s 20 questions, and there’s no need to overthink your answers; your first response is usually the most accurate one.
A higher score doesn’t confirm an anxiety disorder, but it’s a strong signal worth acting on. We’d recommend booking an assessment with one of our psychologists or psychiatrists, or raising your results with your GP.
