Once a screening tool is completed, the results must be interpreted properly to guide next steps. The GAD 7 scoring system helps clinicians categorize anxiety symptoms into mild, moderate, or severe ranges. Each of the seven questions is scored based on how often the symptoms occur, and the total score provides a snapshot of the individual’s condition. A higher score indicates a greater need for professional attention, while a lower score may suggest mild anxiety that could be managed through lifestyle changes. Healthcare providers use these scores not only for diagnosis but also to track progress over time. This method ensures patients receive personalized care and allows clinicians to adjust treatment strategies based on measurable outcomes.
