Anxiety Self-Assessment
Focuses on experiences of anxiety and worry, helping you reflect on how often these feelings have affected you over the past two weeks.
What this assessment explores
If your mind has a habit of racing ahead to worst-case scenarios – or worry has become such a constant companion that it's hard to remember what it felt like without it – this assessment gives you a way to understand what's going on. It explores the anxiety symptoms you've been experiencing over the past two weeks, and helps you see how much they've been affecting your day-to-day life. It's built on the GAD-7, one of the most widely used anxiety measures in the world.
See the original scaleWhat you can expect
There are 7 questions, and they'll ask you to reflect on how often certain experiences have felt true for you over the last two weeks. It's short – but the simplicity is intentional.
The questions touch on things like:
- How often you've felt nervous, anxious, or on edge
- Whether you've been able to control worrying when it starts
- How much anxiety has been getting in the way of everyday life
Your responses give you a clear picture of how your anxiety has been sitting lately – and whether it might be worth exploring further.
