GAD-7 Important Notes and Scoring

The GAD-7 is based on the diagnostic criteria for GAD described in DSM-IV.

However, the GAD-7 is also sensitive to severity of symptoms of social phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and panic disorder.


Please note: This questionnaire is designed for use by a health professional. Since the questionnaires rely on patient self-report, all responses should be verified by the clinician and a definitive diagnosis made on clinical grounds, taking into account how well the patient understood the questionnaire, as well as other relevant information from the patient (e.g., presence of DSM-IV GAD symptoms). A diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder should not be made based on GAD-7 scores alone.


A score of 10 or greater indicates that further evaluation is required.


The scores are as follows:

0-4 Minimal Anxiety
5-9 Mild Anxiety
10-14 Moderate Anxiety
15-21 Severe Anxiety
