Full Moon Madness: The Search for a Relationship between the Mind and Lunar Cycles.

http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/biology/b103/f00/web1/dyar.html

For years, maybe centuries, there’s been a belief that a full moon influences people’s behavior. I find it unbelievable.

Everything from increases in violent crime and psychotic behavior to stock market fluctuations has been blamed on the effects of the fully illuminated moon. In 19th century England, lawyers used the “guilty by reason of the full moon” defense to claim that their “lunatic” (based on the word “luna” which is Latin for “moon”) clients could not be held accountable for acting under the moon’s influence. In his 1978 best seller, How the Moon Affects You, psychiatrist Arnold Lieber argued rather unscientifically that the moon has an effect on the human body (which is 65 percent water) that is similar to its pull on the ocean’s tides.

Popular legend has it that the full moon brings out the worst in people: more violence, more suicides, more accidents, more aggression. The influence of the moon and behavior has been called "The Lunar Effect" or "The Transylvania Effect." The belief that the full moon causes mental disorders and strange behavior was widespread throughout Europe in the middle ages. Even the word "lunacy" meaning "insanity" comes from the Latin word for "moon."

Check your psych info. Nowhere does it say this is fact. It is something that has been studied but there has been no proof to validate the theory. It has been loosely classified as myth.
There are other spatial phenomenon that exert gravitation pulls upon the earth..tides, etc., but no one ever has linked them to any "change" in people or animals.

The only change is imagined.....
