Handwriting degradation: sign of cognitive decline?
Is handwriting degradation a sign of cognitive decline? Or does it say anything about your mental health? You mentioned in the podcast on journaling that your handwriting has changed markedly for the worse as you've aged. You were looking at journals from your teens and noted that that your handwriting was actually surprisingly good compared to where it is today. You made a quick comment about it indicating cognitive decline which very well could have been a joke, but I've always been so curious about why my handwriting has gotten worse as I get older. Perhaps it's because I wrote more in my youth and now so much is done electronically?
