About your score

Each of your answers has a score of 0-3. Click ‘Your Answers’ above to see your score for each question. Adding these up provides your Total Score.

Not at all = 0; Several days = 1; More than half the days = 2; Nearly every day = 3

Interpreting your Total Score

  • 0-4: minimal anxiety
  • 5-9: mild anxiety
  • 10-14: moderate anxiety
  • 15-21: severe anxiety

To monitor your anxiety severity over time:
