I always have this open in a tab when I'm writing dialogue, it helps spruce up the dialogue.

Focused - vigilant, concentrated, fixated

Enthusiastic - fervent, exuberant, rhapsodic, vigorous 

Depressed - melancholy, morose, pessimistic, despondent

Thanks for answering, but I don't think you understand the question. I wasn't looking for alternate words for those 3 words I posted. Those 3 words were just examples.

Example: 'Condition' covers a wide variety of words like healthy, ill, absent, dead, etc. So like the way the single word 'condition' covers them words stated previous, i'm looking for a single word that covers words such as focused, enthusiastic, depressed, agitated, etc. I thought it may of been morale, but i'm not sure as it doesn't sound right.

Mood, maybe?

Mentality?
State?
Attitude?
Temperament?
Emotion?
Mindset?

Ah, I kinda let my literature snob side show as soon as I saw the title.

Morale seems correct actually. It pretty much describes the level of "spirit" a fighting unit has. Say, if your numbers are low or many of your units are injured, morale is going to be low. Vice Versa. But state, mood, zeal, attitude. A lot of people are on the right track. But morale is also a great word for that.

Hmm, Mentality, State and Mindset sound like possibilitys, but which one?

I'm not 100% sure as Morale would cover words like 'depressed', but i'm not sure if it would cover words like 'focused' or 'enthusiastic'.

It would cover depressed. Low morale is still morale. A team with low morale is probably depressed among other things, such as fearful, worried, angry, unorganized, ect. A team with high morale with be on point, focused, energetic, ready to fight, cocky, ect.
