Common questions

The essentials, in plain terms.

Is this screener private?

Yes. Every answer stays in your browser on this device. Nothing is saved, sent, or seen by CAYA World Clinic, and closing the page erases everything.

Is this a diagnosis?

No. It is a screening questionnaire, not a diagnosis. It shows whether anxiety symptoms have reached a level where a professional conversation is usually recommended.

What is the GAD-7?

The GAD-7 is a seven-question screening scale for generalised anxiety, used in clinics worldwide and free to use. It asks how often worry and tension have affected you over the last two weeks.

What score suggests anxiety?

Scores of 10 or higher are the point at which a professional conversation is usually recommended, though the number is only a guide. If worry is getting in the way of daily life at any score, it is worth talking to someone.
