Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. A brief, public-domain anxiety screener; also sensitive to panic, social anxiety and PTSD. Under a predictive-processing view, anxiety reflects maladaptive priors about volatility — an over-estimate of how threatening and uncertain the world is.
License: public domain. A screener points at what is worth a closer look; a clinician makes a diagnosis.
