usual state of severity of the conditions during the illness period. Mild is intended to indicate impairment in functioning greater than would be expected for
a college/university student, leading to some impairment in studying and /or missing of classes. Moderate indicates further impairment in functioning that
is not excessive or extreme. Severe indicates extreme difficulty in functioning and complete inability to attend class or study. If additional space is needed,
