About Us

That quiet, persistent question—'Am I okay?'—deserves a clear, compassionate answer. We created this space for that exact moment of uncertainty.

From a Question to a Compass

We saw that understanding anxiety often felt overwhelming and clinical. GAD-7.org was born from a simple idea: to create a private, scientifically-grounded space where anyone could assess their symptoms quickly and receive not just a score, but truly personalized AI-driven insights to guide their next steps.

Your Window to Self-Understanding

We envision a world where mental health awareness is proactive, not reactive. GAD-7.org serves as a personal compass, offering clear direction and insight so that every user feels equipped to navigate their mental well-being journey with confidence.

The Pillars of Our Platform

Every feature and line of code at GAD-7.org is built upon three core principles: empathetic design that respects your journey, an unwavering commitment to scientific validity, and the absolute protection of your privacy.

A Tool for Insight, Not Diagnosis

We want to be clear: this platform is a tool for self-reflection and insight, not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis. Your results are best used as a starting point for a conversation with a qualified healthcare provider.

Privacy is Built-In, Not an Add-On

Your data belongs to you, period. We prioritize privacy in every decision we make. Your assessment is anonymous, and we will never sell or share your identifiable information. That is our promise.

Built on a Foundation of Science

Our tool is not arbitrary. The core assessment is based on the published and validated GAD-7 scale, ensuring the insights you receive are meaningful, reliable, and grounded in established research.

Our Commitment to Your Journey

The path to understanding yourself is deeply personal. We are committed to being a trustworthy, empathetic, and reliable guide at every step.
