  We aim to complete a mixed design exploratory study into the symptoms of Behcet’s and psychological variables such as anxiety, depression, wellbeing etc.. We aim to explore which primary (main) and secondary (additional) Behcet's symptoms are most influenced by psychological variables. In addition we aim to look at both objective (clinician based) and subjective (patient based) illness experience, and whether there is a relationship between illness experience and psychological experiences (anxiety, depression, reduced wellbeing etc.).
