SCL-90 scores are defined as high when they exceed the sex-specific mean +1 SD taken from the reference population. A cut-off score of the IES of >25 is used to identify victims with relatively severe intrusion and avoidance symptoms.²⁰ The BDI is divided in four categories of severity of depressive symptoms.^{21 22}
