A study at IU School of Medicine found deaths by suicide 'increase significantly' during the week of a full moon. They also found September is the peak month for deaths by suicide, and 3 to 4 p.m. is the peak time for suicide attempts.
INDIANAPOLIS — For centuries, people have suspected a full moon causes mysterious changes in people’s behavior.
The team found that deaths by suicide, recorded by the coroner’s office, increased significantly during the weeks of a full moon from 2012-2016. People 55 and older showed an even higher increase during this time. The team claims light from the moon could be impacting people when it should be darker, leading to an increase in suicidal thoughts.
