The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) is a self-reported questionnaire for screening and severity measuring of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).[1]
The GAD-7 is normally used in outpatient and primary care settings for referral to a psychiatrist pending outcome.[2]
The GAD-7 has seven items, which measure severity of various signs of GAD according to reported response categories with assigned points.[2] The GAD-7 items include:
Nervousness
Inability to stop worrying
Excessive worry
Restlessness
Difficulty in relaxing
Easy irritation
Fear of something awful happening[3]
An additional question at the end asks for a global rating of the severity of the patient's anxiety over the past 2 weeks.[2]
