Tremors

If you have always had rhythmic, beautiful handwriting and it has deteriorated so badly,
it may be more than too much computer use. Is there a tremor or shakiness that has
developed in the writing? While this can be one of numerous indicators found in
handwriting of one battling a serious illness or severe stress, it is also an indicator of a
non-life threatening illness called Essential Tremors. One difference
between Parkinsons and Essential Tremors is that, with Essential Tremors, the hand
will stop shaking when it rests against something stationary. Let your hand rest on the
paper as you prepare to write and notice if the shaking stops.
High Blood Pressure
Curious about high blood pressure? Writing with variable pressure is one possible
indicator, especially when it goes from light to dark. When in doubt, use a magnifying
glass.

Alzheimers

Handwriting deteriorates as the mental faculties deteriorate.
Ronald Reagans handwriting, before Alzheimers:

One of many factors includes script that changes to irregular or altered letters coupled
with trembles in the writing. The writing will also slow down.

Mental Illness

Severe depression or schizophrenia is easily spotted in handwriting.
When the slant varies within a sentence or within the same word frequently in a given
handwriting sample, it is one form of evidence the writer is not having continual contact
with reality.

Depression
Nearly everyone has at least one sign of depression in their writing, which is nothing to
worry about. It is when you or a loved one has a grocery list of these specific traits found
in the writing that you want to pay closer attention.
1. Never ever cross out your own name when you sign it:

This potentially exposes a deep subconscious belief that you do not believe you deserve
to take up space in your own life, let alone on the planet. The writer will ultimately seek
out little or not so little ways to self-destruct.
2. Downhill writing:

If you had to guess would you presume this writer is feeling optimistic or
depressed? This is another sign of depression.
3. Emotional starvation:

Notice the ending stroke that curves up, over and moves to the left of the word, hovering
above it like a protective covering. This writer is very tired of taking care of everyone else
and is deeply yearning that someone takes care of her for a change.
4. Loops in the "d" stem:

Sadly, this is an all too common stroke I see in clients handwritings. This writer is
harder on themselves than he or she would ever be on anyone else, especially when
looking in the mirror. This is an indicator that this person needs to take better care of
their body. There is more to this trait than meets the eye and an important one on which
to perform graphotherapy the science of changing your writing to change your life.








On my website, I offer a report called The 13 Signs of Suicide and it discloses the full
grocery list of traits that reveal depression. When 5 or more of these traits are present in
ones handwriting, it is a strong indication of depression and it is definitely advised to
seek support from friends and/or a professional.
A reminder: Serious illness does not just happen over night. You can set an intention to
empower yourself to do whatever you need to take care of you. Meditate, take more
walks in nature, drink more water, get plenty of rest, do things daily that will expand a
feeling or a level of comfort within you. There are dozens of ways every day that you can
give your immune system a little boost. Laughter is one. The time is now. Just as no two
snowflakes are alike, neither are two handwriting samples. That means you are one in a
billion. And you are worth it.
