Feeling anxious, nervous, or overwhelmed?

If you’ve ever searched for natural remedies for anxiety, anxiety help, or panic attack treatment, you’re not alone.

Finding the right therapy for anxiety or natural anxiety relief can be challenging.

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is a simple and reliable tool for understanding your anxiety. It’s so trusted that Apple uses it with their Healthkit framework for well-being.

Here’s how to use the GAD-7 to get a better handle on your anxiety:

1. Answer These Questions:

- “Do you feel nervous, anxious, or on edge?”

- “Do you struggle to stop or control worrying?”

- “Do you worry too much about different things?”

- “Do you have trouble relaxing?”

- “Are you so restless that it’s hard to sit still?”

- “Do you get easily annoyed or irritable?”

- “Do you feel like something bad might happen?”

2. Check Your Score: Your answers will help gauge the severity of your anxiety. To calculate and understand your score more clearly, I’ve shared a detailed framework in a PDF format.

Once you understand the severity of your anxiety, dealing with it becomes much easier. Please calculate your score and let me know what it is and how you’re planning to handle it. In our next article, we’ll explore how small changes in your habits can make a big difference. I’m also interested in hearing how you’re planning to tackle your anxiety.
