Racing thoughts? Constant worry? Feeling on edge every day?
This short paid screening helps you understand whether your symptoms match General Anxiety Disorder, and what to do next.
This is a screening tool, not a diagnosis. If results suggest clinical-level anxiety, we'll recommend a full assessment with a qualified clinician.

Anxiety in Ireland: The Reality
Around 1 in 9 adults in Ireland live with an anxiety disorder. Many go years without recognising it, because anxiety can feel like a personality trait, not a condition.
Excessive, uncontrollable worry about everyday things, work, health, relationships, money, that feels impossible to switch off even when there's no obvious reason to worry.
Tension headaches, tight chest, racing heart, muscle aches, sweating or trembling, physical symptoms that appear without a clear medical cause and are driven by chronic stress.
Difficulty falling asleep, waking at 3am with a racing mind, or never feeling rested. Anxiety and sleep problems feed each other in a cycle that's hard to break alone.
Intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in social situations. This often leads to avoidance that shrinks your world and reinforces the anxiety over time.
Jumping to the worst-case scenario in everyday situations. A headache becomes a tumour, a missed call becomes a crisis. The mind constantly scans for threat and amplifies risk.
Avoiding situations, places, conversations, or decisions that trigger anxiety. The relief is immediate but short-lived, and each avoided situation makes anxiety stronger.
Many people with GAD are told, or tell themselves, that they're "just anxious by nature." This normalises a condition that, left untreated, compounds over time and affects every area of life.
More than half of people experiencing anxiety in Ireland never access professional support. Stigma, cost, long waiting lists, and not knowing where to start all play a role in keeping people stuck.
Anxiety responds extremely well to evidence-based therapy. CBT-based treatment achieves significant improvement in up to 90% of people with GAD, but only once the condition is correctly identified.
