This easy-to-use self-administered patient questionnaire can used as a screening tool and severity measure for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)1.

If you checked off any problems, how difficult have these problems made it for you to do your work, take care of things at home, or get along with other people?
- Not difficult at all
- Somewhat difficult
- Very difficult
- Extremely difficult
A score of 10 or greater on the GAD-7 represents a reasonable cut point for identifying cases of GAD. Cut points of 5, 10 and 15 might be interpreted as representing mild, moderate and server levels of anxiety on the GAD-7.
