DSM-5 criteria.
The DSM-5 defines three levels of ADHD severity based on symptom count and frequency: 1. Mild ADHD • Symptom Count: Just meets the diagnostic criteria (6 symptoms in children for either inattention or hyperactivity/impulsivity). • Frequency: Symptoms occur but are not excessively frequent. 2. Moderate ADHD • Symptom Count: More than the minimum required for diagnosis. • Frequency: Symptoms occur frequently (e.g., several times a week). 3. Severe ADHD • Symptom Count: Many symptoms well beyond the diagnostic threshold. • Frequency: Symptoms occur daily or multiple times per day.(National Center for Biotechnology Information, n.d.)
