Mission Connection provides a valuable tool to check the level of anxiety using—the Anxiety Test (GAD-7)—to help individuals assess their anxiety levels and take appropriate steps toward mental well-being.
The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item (GAD-7) test is a scientifically validated self-assessment tool designed to measure symptoms of anxiety and worry. This test evaluates how frequently an individual has experienced anxiety-related symptoms over the past two weeks, providing insight into the severity of their condition.
Who Developed the GAD-7 Test?
The GAD-7 was developed in 2006 by Drs. Robert L. Spitzer, Janet B.W. Williams, Kurt Kroenke, and their colleagues. Their research was supported by an educational grant from Pfizer Inc., ensuring that the tool was rooted in clinical expertise and evidence-based methodology. Today, it remains one of the most widely used and reliable self-assessment tools for anxiety.
