QUESTIONNAIRE Please fill in this questionnaire in as great detail and as deliberately as possible. Things that you might feel are "medically not relevant" can give important information, such as your habits, pattern of behaviour, moods etc. Please report things without any inhibition, howsoever, incongruent or irrelevant it may seem.
