I know the hands thing is BS, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't use it in an arguement. In the anime, Izumi used it to defend Kouichi's status as one of the living even though she told Kouichi later on that she believed that was bullshit. This in turn actually shows how skewed her priorities are.

She also has a strong sense of control issues and is used to people agreeing with her. That lip bite she kept doing in the anime, I've seen that all too often. It's a sign that the stress of losing control of certain situations and that she's struggling not to blow up. Izumi was already losing it before she decided to kill Mei, Mei at least in her own perspective was the last straw. As much as I don't like Izumi, they handled her insanity pretty well. At first she tried to keep it inwards, using her sense of duty and when Takako started killing people, she was practically paralyzed mentally, her voice breaking up while on the surface sounds like she's concerned for Takako, she's also losing whatever sense she has left and it finally died out when she saw Takako's corpse.
