What your total score means

Your total score is a guide to how severe your anxiety disorder may be.

  • 0 to 4 = mild anxiety

  • 5 to 9 = moderate anxiety

  • 10 to 14 = moderately severe anxiety

  • 15 to 21 = severe anxiety

If your score is 10 or higher, or if you feel that anxiety is affecting your daily life, call your doctor.

The GAD-7 was developed by Drs. Robert L. Spitzer, Janet B. W. Williams, Kurt Kroenke, and colleagues, with an education grant from Pfizer, Inc.
