Small Handwriting
In the digital age, noticing small handwriting may be more difficult. Additionally, it's common for handwriting to change as people age. However, if a person's penmanship becomes increasingly smaller and the words are crowded together, it may be a sign of Parkinson's disease.
The condition is known as micrographia. Anyone with handwriting that's getting smaller and harder to read should contact their doctor. If other signs of Parkinson's are occurring with reduced handwriting size, a referral to a specialist may be necessary.
