Ideas and Research

My first idea was to make a video that shows very day hand movement but I thought that it won't be as strong as I want it to be and that people will not see the "story" behind it.

So, I came up with this idea from my brainstorming of telling a story using hand movements through disorders. I did some research on the hand movement of someone with depression, ADHD, anxiety and so on.

Anxiety
The most common hand symptom of anxiety is a restless shaking. This shaking has an obvious cause. When you suffer from anxiety, your body rushes with adrenaline.

Hand-washing compulsions: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) 


HAND FLAPPING/FINGER FLICKING: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Delirium
According the DSM 5 is hand flapping (or: repetitive hand shaking, hand clappping, finger flicking, finger twisting) a common behavior assocated with Autims Spectrum Disorder

HAND WRINGING: Rett syndrome (Autism Spectrum Disorder), agitation in Major Depressive Episode 
According the DSM-IV hand wringing (which may look like hand washing, representing midline hand movements) can represent a very typical clue for stereotyped hand movements in Rett Syndrome
