Brief summary
This is an observational study aimed at validating the Frustration Discomfort Scale (Harrington, 2005). A back-translation process was followed to obtain a translated version of the scale, which was refined after a discussion with several clinicians.
Detailed description

Additional questionnaires to explore the validity of the adapted scale will also be administered. Participants who complete the questionnaires and provide a valid ID number will enter a participate in a raffle to win an Amazon coupon of 40 euros.
