Yeah I wouldn't get too hung up on labels. When my inpatient pdoc changed my dx from BP 2 to BP 1 she told me that it was just "words on paper" and really didn't matter to me - just to my insurance company. She said I needed to focus on alleviating the symptoms rather than what they are labeled as.

Same would go for being labeled severe, I think - who cares if it's mild or severe? It still affects your life the same no matter how they label it. So focus on getting well.
