The GAD-2 is a validated tool for initial anxiety screening. It asks just two questions, each aiming to capture essential aspects of anxiety symptoms. Widely used in clinical settings, it's often the first step in identifying anxiety and determining whether further assessment is needed. This test is a shortened version of the longer GAD-7 and focuses on core symptoms like worry.
