To assess this parameter, the PEQ-NL (total score on main items, item 32-44) will be used. *Associated distress of traumatic experiences during hospitalization*: level of associated distress of traumatic experiences during the most recent hospitalization in a mental health clinic. To asses this parameter, the PEQ-NL (total score on sub-items a, item 1-31) will be used. *Associated distress of harmful experiences during hospitalization*: level of associated distress of harmful experiences during the most recent hospitalization in a mental health clinic.
