How do I know if I need support?
We all feel worried or on edge now and then, but constant feelings of anxiety may be a sign that you need some extra support.
Our free anxiety self-check uses the GAD-7, a short questionnaire widely used by the NHS. In just a few minutes, you’ll see what your answers suggest and whether you may benefit from support, including free NHS Talking Therapies. It’s designed to guide, not diagnose, and shouldn’t replace advice from your GP or a qualified healthcare professional.
