Discover how our personalized approach helps assess anxiety symptoms and guide effective treatment strategies.
What is the Purpose of GAD ?
The GAD-7, or Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale, is a brief questionnaire used to assess the severity of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). It consists of 7 questions about the frequency of anxiety symptoms experienced over the past two weeks, rated from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day).
At Canada Online Therapy, our experienced therapist utilizes the GAD-7 to screen for GAD, monitor symptom changes, and tailor treatment plans effectively. Whether you are on short-term or long-term leave, experiencing overall anxiety that is debilitating your functioning, or simply need assistance, this tool helps provide targeted support and evaluate the progress of therapy.
