Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7

The GAD-7 is a brief 7-item self-report questionnaire designed to screen for and measure the severity of generalized anxiety disorder in adolescents and adults. Developed by Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams, and Löwe in 2006, it has become one of the most widely used anxiety screening tools in primary care, mental health research, and clinical practice due to its brevity, excellent psychometric properties, and ease of administration.
