    Time frame: SCL10 recorded at two Weeks into Rehabilitation

    SCL10 is a Questionnaire mapping Emotional Health during the Previous Week, particularly Anxiety and Depression. SCL-10 comprises Ten Questions with Scores from 1-4. The Final Score is the Total Score sum divided by Ten. Scores>1.85 indicate Severe Emotional Problems
