Attempted suicide and the lunar cycle.

V M Mathew1, J Lindesay, N Shanmuganathan, V Eapen.   

Abstract

An analysis of 383 cases of attempted suicide presented to the Accident and Emergency Department during 12 complete lunar cycles (one year) gave no support for an association between attempted suicide and the lunar cycle, especially the full moon. No control for weekends or holidays was made.
