This is useful
For a simple, well-validated anxiety screening questionnaire, I’d recommend the GAD-7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7). It is widely used clinically, takes about 2 minutes, and is useful for measuring both initial severity and change over time.
For the past 2 weeks, rate how often you have been bothered by each problem: 0 = Not at all, 1 = Several days, 2 = More than half the days, 3 = Nearly every day.
- Feeling nervous, anxious, or on edge
- Not being able to stop or control worrying
- Worrying too much about different things
- Trouble relaxing
- Being so restless that it is hard to sit still
- Becoming easily annoyed or irritable
- Feeling afraid as if something awful might happen
Add the seven scores. 0–4 minimal, 5–9 mild, 10–14 moderate, 15–21 severe anxiety. A score of 10 or higher is commonly used as a point where further clinical assessment is worthwhile.
If you want, I can also give you a more comprehensive anxiety questionnaire that distinguishes generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, OCD-type symptoms, trauma symptoms, and specific fears. Reach out by PM
