The handwriting is formed during the first twenty years and stays unchanged during the whole life. A normal personality is not subject to frequent changes, that is why if the handwriting is changed that means was influenced by mood changes and temporary factors. The graphologic analysis shows the emotional-conative and personality qualities. Some mental diseases greatly change the handwriting.
