Full moon does not drive people crazy

Full moon is not the cause for people to go crazy, according to research by psychologists from Canada.

The unusual wave of crime and difficult-to-interpret injuries are sometimes blamed on the monthly full moon phenomenon. However, the study of psychologists from Laval University (Canada) has proved that the full moon phenomenon is not related to these events.

Professor Genevieve Belleville and colleagues conducted a study within 3 years with 770 patients with mental illness. These patients have symptoms from panic to suicide and a mysterious chest pain.

Many people believe that the phenomenon of full moon makes people crazy.

However, the research results show that there is no relationship between the phenomenon of full moon and mental illness. Scientists also explain that mysterious chest pain symptoms are related to mental health.

"Increased mental illness in full moon days may be due to coincidence or other factors," Professor Genevieve Belleville told the Telegraph.

'But one thing is for sure, we do not see the phenomenon of the full moon or the new moon affecting psychological problems.'

The phenomenon of the full moon causing crazy acts is a mystery believed by people for centuries. About 80% of nurses and 63% of doctors in hospitals say they see an increase in the number of patients with mental problems during the full moon days.

Similarly, police from Brighton to Ohio (USA) also complained that they had to work harder during the full moon after rumors of a wave of crime tended to increase during this time.

Commentators even argue that the reason George W. Bush unexpectedly won the 2000 presidential election was because the election took place during the full moon.
