YOUR SELF-CHECK

How have you been feeling?

0 of 21 answered

Answer all 21 questions about the last 2 weeks. The first seven use the established GAD-7 scoring method; the remaining 14 help tailor spiritual and practical guidance. They do not add to the GAD-7 score.

SECTION 1 · QUESTIONS 1–7

Established anxiety symptom screen (GAD-7)

Your answer to each of these seven questions counts toward the validated 0–21 point GAD-7 symptom score.

1 Feeling nervous, anxious or on edge
2 Not being able to stop or control worrying
3 Worrying too much about different things
4 Trouble relaxing
5 Being so restless that it is hard to sit still
6 Becoming easily annoyed or irritable
7 Feeling afraid as if something awful might happen

SECTION 2 · QUESTIONS 8–21

Your daily experiences

These additional ZKQ-developed questions explore where you may need support and help personalize your guidance. They are not a validated clinical instrument and do not increase your GAD-7 score.
