Anxiety Self-Test Online

Do I have an anxiety disorder? The anxiety test, designed by a psychologist, helps you take a closer look and gain clarity.

This test supports you in finding out whether your worries and anxieties fall within a normal range, or whether you may show signs of an anxiety disorder.

  • Why do I constantly feel that something bad is about to happen?
  • Why can't I control my fears and worries, even when I know they're irrational?
  • Why do I feel constantly nervous and tense?
  • Why do I avoid certain places or situations out of fear?
  • Why do I struggle to sleep because I'm constantly worried?

Please note that this test does not replace a professional diagnosis. If you have health concerns or find the results worrying, please consult a specialist or psychotherapist.
