Q: Who is this anxiety test for?

This test is for anyone 18 years or older who’s struggling with symptoms of feeling on edge, restlessness, irritability, a racing heart, sweating, unexplained headaches, and more. It’s for anyone who wants to know more about the cause of their symptoms and whether or not they may be tied to an anxiety disorder.

Q: How to use this anxiety test

This test is a simple self-screening quiz. It isn’t a replacement for an anxiety diagnosis from a qualified medical professional nor is it medical advice. To use the quiz, simply select an answer for each question. Base your answers on your symptoms over at least the last 6 months. And choose the answer that most accurately reflects your symptoms for that timeframe. Once you’re done answering each question, select “Get my results.” Your results give you a score and a recommendation about whether you may or may not have an anxiety disorder and whether you may want to talk to a licensed healthcare professional. Know that your results and recommendation aren’t a substitute or a requirement for seeking medical help. Only a trained medical provider can diagnose an anxiety disorder or another mental health condition and determine the best treatment plan for you. If you want professional advice, are sure you already have anxiety, or have been diagnosed, find an anxiety provider for an online or in-person visit and have an appointment often within 24 hours on Klarity Health .*

Q: What are the symptoms of anxiety?

Anxiety isn’t a single disorder. And it’s more than feeling nervous or fearful. Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias among others. Symptoms of different types of anxiety vary, and can include, but aren’t limited to: – Regularly feeling on edge, irritable, restless, out of control, and/or worried – Tiring easily or struggling to sleep – Having headaches and unexplained aches and pains – Struggling to concentrate or focus – Having a racing or pounding heart rate – Sweating – Feeling intense worry about places, objects, or activities – Avoiding places, objects, or activities that cause you worry or fear

Q: How is anxiety diagnosed?

A proper anxiety diagnosis needs to be made by a medical or mental healthcare professional, typically a psychiatrist or psychologist who will: – Talk to you about your medical and mental health history and current status – Interview you about your current symptoms, how intense they are, how long they last, how they affect your daily life, and when they started – Use a standardized anxiety assessment tool, such as the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21 and DASS-42), and/or the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) to evaluate your symptoms

Q: What to do if I’m diagnosed with anxiety?

If you’re diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, getting help to relieve or better manage your symptoms is available. The first step is to find a licensed, board-certified therapist, psychiatrist, or both — you can do that on Klarity Health. Your provider will meet with you in person or online (or both depending on the provider and your preference). They may recommend behavioral counseling or therapy. Studies have shown that anxiety therapy is highly effective. A provider may also recommend a medication, like Xanax (alprazolam), Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Cymbalta (duloxetine), among many others, depending on your specific disorder and symptoms. Your provider can work with you on a treatment plan and refer you to other providers if needed. Note that if you have therapy and take medications, you’ll likely see different providers for each.

Q: How was this anxiety quiz created?

This anxiety self-assessment tool was created to provide you with insights into a potential anxiety disorder. The questions and outcomes used are based on HAM-A (the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale). HAM-A is commonly used to quantify how severe anxiety symptoms are. It’s designed to assess a broad range of symptoms from psychological to physical and has been used since its development in 1959.

Do you feel on edge a lot? Are you irritable, restless? Does your heart race? These are just a few of the symptoms of an anxiety disorder. Take this quick self-assesement to get an idea if you might have one.
