    Do I have anxiety?

    If that question keeps circling back, you're not alone. And you don't have to sit with the not-knowing. A few minutes and a validated screening tool can give you a clearer picture of what's going on, plus an actual next step.

    Everyone feels worried sometimes. Anxiety becomes a disorder when it sticks around, gets louder than the situation calls for, or starts crowding out your sleep, focus, or relationships. Racing thoughts, a body that won't relax, dread that doesn't match the moment. These are signals worth listening to, not something to push through.

    Not sure if this is anxiety?

    Take the free GAD-7 screening, one of the most widely used clinical tools for identifying anxiety symptoms.

    Questions people ask us

    How do I know if it's anxiety and not just a rough week?+

    A rough week fades. Anxiety tends to linger, most days, for weeks, and often shows up as racing thoughts, restlessness, fatigue, tense muscles, or trouble sleeping even when nothing's actively wrong.

    At what point should I actually talk to someone?+

    If anxiety has been present most days for two weeks or more, or if it's interfering with your sleep, work, relationships, or ability to enjoy things you used to, it's worth talking to a professional. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support.

    Can I manage anxiety without medication?+

    Yes, many people manage anxiety successfully without medication,40% of the time, evidence-based therapy (like CBT) and lifestyle changes produce meaningful improvement. Medication becomes an option when symptoms are severe or aren't responding to therapy alone.
