Adhd can be on a sliding scale persay, when I talked to my psychiatrist she told me that I have a moderate to severe case, she said she did not want to scare me with my diagnosis and really give it a level of severity, but honestly when she told me the moderate to severe, it did not change the relief I felt when I finally had my diagnosis, Adhd can very well be mild, or can be super severe, just have to see a doc and find out where you may land.
