Severe/markedly elevated: 1x/week
Similarly, you may make a severity rating of Severe/markedly elevated if a symptom occurs 1x/week (lower than the required 2x/week) as long as the intensity is rated Extreme (instead of the required Pronounced). If you are unable to decide between two severity ratings, make the lower rating.
