Anxiety symptoms have bothered you somewhat over the past two weeks. Many people feel this way at times, for example when life is busy or uncertain. Keep an eye on how it develops.
The GAD-7 is a screener, not a diagnosis. A high score can also be linked to stress, lack of sleep, depression or physical health problems. Only a health professional can assess whether you have an anxiety disorder.
