Why are there more mental health crisis and strange behavior when the moon is full?
Question:
Answers:
I don't know if more stuff *truly* happens when the moon is full, as compared to when it isn't, but it sure seems like it! I work in a psychiatric facility and things definitely get stranger than normal around a full moon. We get wilder patients that come in, the teenagers on our residential unit have more behavior problems, the adult unit gets more patients in. Even the ER seems to get more people than normal, as well as patients with less common problems. It really does make me wonder if a full moon has something to do it! I like a full moon though...I think it's pretty, even if it does bring strange stuff with it!
With me, I have noticed I am really melancholy. With my sister, well, she gets totally aggressive. I've observed this in her and myself for about 8 years. It's weird. I've never said a word to her. She is normally the MOST passive sweet person you'd ever meet. I say in my head,"The moon's full, let me go outside and see if she is howling".
I used to work in bars. When the moon was full the weirdos would come out. I mean the WERIDOS.
Anybody else?

Last night, when I was with a friend.. I love this girl... and then, we just started bugging out.. nothing was right. Awkward all around the charts.
Through the window, we both noticed a full moon.
We awkwardly commented on it.
Full moons do cause some weird stuff.
I worked at a nursing home for years, and they definitely changed during the full moon, everything from being more combative to just plain confused more than normal. When I worked the night shift at one facility, during the day they were all confused and hard to get along with and at night they were the exact opposite. People who normally had a hard time sleeping would sleep all night long.
I don't really think the moon has anything at all to do with people acting weird. They do it when it's not full, during the day and even when its raining. Every since the invention of the "wolfman" we tend to blame weird activity on the moon but what about what happens during the other times.
It used to be, when there was a full mood, I used to get really depressed. Now, I get really overly-hyper and paranoid.
I never noticed my mood had anything to do with the moon. But I'm always depressed.
