I think there's a fine line between "mild" and "severe". I think it also depends on people's perception of what they're doing or talking about. Whilst someone who (in their own mind) doesn't harm badly, but is still in A&E most nights, they feel that it's not too severe, whereas someone (like me) who has never needed to go to A&E for a self inflicted wound, would consider that to be severe.
