These questionnaires will be the World Health Organisation Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-100), the State and Trait Anxiety Questionnaire (STAI), the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) and the Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) (only completed before diagnosis).
