PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder.

The current mood was rated using a 100 mm visual analogue scale (0: bad mood, 100: good mood).

Levels of difficulty correspond to the number of circles to be remembered: level 1: 3 circles, level 2: 5 circles, and level 3: 7 circles. Accuracy is given in percent of correct responses.
