Abstract

The case study highlights the importance of observing the damaged handwriting which
occurs in drug abuse. Handwriting of a drug consumer presents certain characteristics which
are useful to be known and analyzed by certain specialists (forensic experts, psychiatrists)
involved in research in both Criminal and Medical field. Handwriting analysis can become a
valuable medical diagnosis tool for monitoring the progress made by drug addicts receiving
medication; the conclusions reveal the characteristics of damaged handwriting due to drug
abuse, after analyzing several signatures of a 24 year old subject.
