Free test · GAD-2
Two questions show whether nervousness or worry you cannot stop has been bothering you over the last two weeks. It is a quick screen, not a diagnosis: a high score is a reason to take the full GAD-7 and talk to a professional.

The GAD-2 is the first two questions of the GAD-7: feeling nervous, anxious or on edge, and not being able to stop or control worrying. Each answer scores 0 to 3, for a total of 0 to 6. A total of 3 or more is the usual cutoff for a positive screen (Kroenke and colleagues, 2007).
A two-question screen only shows whether it is worth looking closer. It cannot tell an anxiety disorder from a stressful period. A doctor or therapist makes a diagnosis after a conversation.
Your score is calculated right in your browser. Your answers reach our server only if you ask for your result by email: we write the email and do not keep them.
The GAD-2 takes under a minute and only decides whether to look further. With 3 points or more, or if you want a fuller picture, take the seven-question version: Anxiety test
