Printable Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) PDF

Dizziness can affect more than balance. It can also make daily activities feel stressful, uncertain, or harder to manage. These questions ask about anxiety symptoms over the past 2 weeks because worry, tension, and feeling on edge can sometimes happen along with dizziness. The score does not give a diagnosis, but it can help show how these symptoms may be affecting daily life and help guide a conversation with a healthcare provider.

Why use the GAD-7?

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) scale helps clinicians understand how much anxiety symptoms may be affecting a care-seeker’s daily life. Anxiety can happen alongside dizziness and may make symptoms feel more stressful, unpredictable, or harder to manage. The GAD-7 does not diagnose the cause of dizziness, but it can provide useful context when symptoms include worry, tension, nervousness, or feeling on edge. It can also be used to track patient-reported change over time.

Common Clinical Uses

Clinicians may use the GAD-7 to:

  • Screen for anxiety symptoms

  • Understand how worry or tension may affect daily function

  • Support baseline documentation and care planning

  • Guide conversations about mental health support when appropriate

  • Measure patient-reported change over time

  • Document symptom progress during treatment
