Handwriting Analysis can identify suicidal tendencies

Forensic Handwriting Analysis Specialists have come to the conclusion that handwriting can be used to determine suicidal tendencies following an in-depth research into the psychology behind handwriting.

With teenagers and young adults today facing pressure from various parties including bullying at school, pressure from parents and teachers, self doubt and money problems to name a few. Many young adults want to believe that they have the ability to cope with life, though they may actually lack the maturity and emotional stability. New research has found that this stress and anxiety will become apparent within an individual’s writing style, the longer the anxiety the more erratic someone’s writing style becomes.

Forensic handwriting experts use specialist handwriting analyses techniques to determine hidden messages within writing styles. For example a ‘t’ where the bar is crossed very low on the stem indicates that the person has very low self esteem and a ‘y’ with the end portion curling in a loop that declines towards right shows severe fatalistic attitude that needs immediate attention.

Other senior handwriting analysis specialists have also suggested that the angle of cursive writing is helpful in understanding a person’s emotional responsiveness. A steady right slant can indicate self-confidence and insensitivity but an overall positive approach to life, whereas a steady left slant can indicate that somebody is comfortable with his own company, hides emotions, but has strongly-controlled feelings.
