Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by abnormal social behavior and failure to recognize what is real (typically manifesting as: delusions, hallucinations and disorganized speech). The hand system in schizophrenia varies in a subtile manner from the hand in ordinary people. Often all 5 major perspectives get involved, but in some cases hand signs are found in no more than 4 of the major perspectives; the function & skin in both the finger(tip)s & (upper) palm typically are most likely to get involved. For the hand in schizophrenia special attention is recommended regarding hand sign combinations which can be recognized to represent a combination of 'minor physical anomalies' and 'neurological soft signs'.

The most significant minor LEVEL of the hand system in schizophrenia concerns the skin's (major) lines [level 9], closely followed by the functional aspect of the hand motorics [level 2]. However, more than half of the TOP 10 hand signs in schizophrenia (such as: 'lack of expression', 'excessive secondary creases', 'palmomental reflex', 'visible nail fold plexus', 'postural tremors' & 'chaotic arrangement of secondary crease') concern phenomena which vary in a subtile manner from the ordinary hand.

The hand proportions seen in people who have schizophrenia also tend to vary only in subtile manner from the ordinary hand, with a slight tendency towards 'feminine' features such as: dolichocheir (long & narrow hand shape) [level 3] & small thenar (mount of venus) [level 4], combined with tapering fingers, high 2d:4d digit ratio, extraordinary long index finger, extraordinary short pinky finger [level 5]. Some of the typical hand characteristics in schizophrenia are summarized in the advanced multi-perspective palm reading hand chart below.
