Formula Used
Validated symptom score: Anxiety Score = Q1 + Q2 + Q3 + Q4 + Q5 + Q6 + Q7
Item scale: 0 = Not at all, 1 = Several days, 2 = More than half the days, 3 = Nearly every day
Severity bands: 0-4 minimal, 5-9 mild, 10-14 moderate, 15-21 severe
Percent of maximum: (Anxiety Score / 21) x 100
Context flags: Duration, panic frequency, sleep, caffeine, and functional impact do not change the seven-item score. They help organize follow-up discussions and pattern tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does this tool measure?
It estimates recent anxiety symptom burden using seven scored questions and adds practical context fields for sleep, panic frequency, impairment, and symptom duration.
2. Is this a diagnosis?
No. It is a structured screening aid for self-monitoring or discussion support. A qualified clinician must evaluate symptoms, history, risks, and other possible causes.
3. Why are there extra fields beyond the seven questions?
The extra fields add context. They help highlight persistence, sleep disruption, stimulant use, panic frequency, and day-to-day impairment without changing the validated seven-item score.
4. What score suggests further evaluation?
Scores of 10 or more commonly support further clinical evaluation, especially when symptoms impair daily life or persist for weeks.
5. Can I use it every week?
Yes. Repeated use can show trends over time. Use the same timeframe and similar conditions so your comparisons stay meaningful.
6. What if my score is severe?
A severe result means symptom burden is high. Arrange professional support promptly. Get urgent help immediately if you feel unsafe or cannot cope.
7. Can poor sleep or caffeine affect anxiety?
Yes. Limited sleep and high stimulant intake can aggravate anxiety symptoms in some people, which is why the tool records them as context markers.
8. Why export CSV or PDF?
Exports make it easier to keep a personal log, share trends with a clinician, or compare symptom changes after lifestyle or treatment adjustments.
