The difference between a diagnosis of mild and moderate Parkinson's disease (PD) lies in the progression and severity of symptoms:

- Mild PD: Symptoms are generally mild and may not significantly impact daily activities. Common symptoms include slight tremors, minor changes in posture, and subtle movement difficulties. At this stage, the disease is often manageable with medication and lifestyle adjustments.

- Moderate PD: Symptoms become more pronounced and start to interfere with daily activities. Tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement) are more noticeable. Balance issues may also arise, increasing the risk of falls. Medication adjustments and additional therapies may be needed to manage symptoms effectively.
