About the GAD-7
What it checks
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7)is a widely used, validated self-report tool for screening anxiety symptoms and estimating symptom severity over the last 2 weeks.
MentalCraft uses the seven scored items from the official GAD-7 form. The result is a screening signal, not a diagnosis, and symptoms can have causes or contexts that this short form cannot evaluate.

What is the GAD-7?
The GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item) is a clinically validated screening tool used to measure the severity of generalized anxiety disorder.
How is the GAD-7 scored?
Each of the 7 questions is scored 0–3, giving a total range of 0–21. Scores of 5, 10, and 15 represent cut-points for mild, moderate, and severe anxiety.
Does this test diagnose anxiety?
No. The GAD-7 is a screening tool. A high score suggests you may benefit from a clinical evaluation by a healthcare provider.
Can the GAD-7 diagnose an anxiety disorder?
No. It summarizes seven anxiety symptoms. A clinician needs broader history, impairment, duration, and other possible explanations to diagnose any condition.
Do I need an account to take the test?
No. You can answer in the browser without creating an account.
Will outside resources receive my result?
No. Resource, partner, and checkout links do not receive your answers, score, or severity label.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. MentalCraft self-checks are educational screening tools and cannot replace a qualified professional evaluation.
