Detailed explanation-1: -A standardized measure called a T-score helps your doctor compare your results. When your T-score is less than 60, it usually means you don’t have ADHD. A score higher than 60 may indicate ADHD. And a T-score higher than 70 means your ADHD symptoms are more serious.
Detailed explanation-2: -An individual is diagnosed with moderate attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when either hyperactivity or impulsivity, inattention, or all three occur simultaneously and are linked with at least moderate impairment in numerous situations and contexts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Clinicians can designate the severity of ADHD as “mild, ” “moderate” or “severe” under the criteria in the DSM-5. Mild: Few symptoms beyond the required number for diagnosis are present, and symptoms result in minor impairment in social, school or work settings.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ADHD Rating Scale-IV is completed independently by the parent and scored by a clinician. The scale consists of 2 subscales: inattention (9 items) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (9 items). If 3 or more items are skipped, the clinician should use extreme caution in interpreting the scale.
