Anxiety (GAD-7) Treatment Online — Ontario Virtual Care
See a licensed healthcare professional online for anxiety (gad-7) — no waiting room, no travel.
This assessment uses the GAD-7, a validated 7-question screening tool for generalized anxiety, with a real, fully-summed 0-21 score calculated from your answers and banded using the instrument's own validated cutoffs — not a proxy or approximation. Safety is always screened first, and any history of mania is checked before an antidepressant is considered.

Quick Self-Check
Answer a few quick questions. This isn't a diagnosis — a real clinical assessment is the next step either way.
How We Work
Every GAD-7 item you answer is summed into an actual score and banded (Minimal 0-4, Mild 5-9, Moderate 10-14, Severe 15-21). Alongside that, your healthcare professional screens for safety concerns and any history of mania or psychosis, both addressed first if present. Based on your real score and band, you may be offered an SSRI, CBT, or both — moderate-to-severe scores typically support medication with therapy, while mild scores favour lifestyle changes and therapy first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GAD-7?
The GAD-7 is a validated 7-question screening tool for generalized anxiety. Your answers are summed into a real 0-21 score, banded into Minimal, Mild, Moderate, or Severe using the instrument's own validated cutoffs.
Will I be prescribed medication automatically?
No — your score and band guide the discussion, but any positive safety screen or history of mania is addressed first, and treatment intensity (medication, therapy, or both) is matched to your actual severity band.
What if I'm having thoughts of harming myself?
This is asked directly as part of every assessment. If you're in crisis right now, call or text 9-8-8 (Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline) or go to your nearest emergency department.
How is my progress tracked?
Your GAD-7 is re-scored at follow-up (typically 4-6 weeks) so your healthcare professional can track objective change, not just how you feel day to day.
What can I do alongside treatment?
Relaxation techniques, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and reducing caffeine intake can all meaningfully help alongside any medication or therapy.
