It is a popular belief from time immemorial that moon affects human behavior. Even mental health institutes claim the behavior of mental patients becomes more abnormal during the full moon day and new moon day. What is it due to?
The Competitive Blockade:
If two thoughts try to enter the conscious mind at precisely the same time it results in none of the thoughts succeeding in entering it. this gives us false peace and false self-control.
This is an accident and soon just one thought succeeds in entering it. However, if we have voluntary force we can repeat it as long as wish or as long as we have voluntary force.
Failure of Competitive Blockade:
The blockade fails when our voluntary force is depleted.
Voluntary force is generated during success and thus can be a precious commodity for us.
When voluntary force is about to be depleted we can,
1. Transfer the emotion of the unwanted thought to a socially acceptable thought and allow the socially accepted thought to manifest as action.
2. Make the blockade automatic.
Unfortunately, both the options have their drawbacks.
1. If the transferred emotion is of huge magnitude even our socially acceptable action would look exaggerated. To avoid this we can distort the socially acceptable thought to such an extent that it can't get converted into action easily.
2. Making the blockade involuntary has drawback that we can't unblock the blockade and return to the real world to interact with people around us.
Timing of manifestation of bizarre thought as action:
If we make the unwanted thought bizarre and allow it to manifest as action it would manifest as mental abnormality. Our only hope then would be to make it manifest as abnormal action just on one day so that we can spend that day alone. Selecting a day on the calender has the drawback that anything associated with calender would result in abnormal behavior. Therefore, the moon is selected as it appears only in the night and thus can be avoided looking at.
Thus, our bizarre thought can manifest as action on full or new moon day only.
Thus the behavior human beings becomes abnormal on full and new moon days even though the moon has nothing to do with it.
Popular legend has it that the full moon brings out the worst in people: more violence, more suicides, more accidents, and more aggression.
However, this aggravation of abnormal human behavior during full moon day is not the cause of the abnormality. It is just an attempt of the abnormal person to restrict his abnormalities to just a few days of a month. If it were to be the cause it would have affected the behavior of the majority of people.
There is anecdotal evidence that the phases of the moon cause a variety of behavioral changes in humans and animals. There is anecdotal evidence that the phases can change some humans into animals. There is no scientific evidence to show that the moon affects human behaviour. There is a lot of scientific evidence indicating that the moon affects the tides.

Phases of moon and human behavior:If we want we can let moon affect our behavior. If we don't want, we can make it totally independent of it.
We let moon affect our behavior to restrict our abnormal behavior to just full or new moon day. Even on these days, since our abnormality would be at midnight, it would go unnoticed.
This aggravation during full or new moon day would make scientists come to the wrong conclusion that it is the phases of the moon that is aggravating abnormal human behavior.
What else can I help you with?
Are people crazy during new moon?
There is no scientific evidence to support the belief that people act "crazy" during a new moon. Some people may associate changes in behavior with lunar phases, but psychologists and researchers have not found any consistent patterns of increased mental health issues or unusual behavior during the new moon.
Does the full moon drive people crazy?
Lunatic means "of the moon." The word lunatic actually means moon struck. Police forces all over the country man more police officers during a full moon. The craziness may not be permanent. Think how the moon affects the tides then consider you're about 80% water.
Do people suffering from depression behave abnormally during new moons and full moons?
Yes, I can speak from personal experience on this. Its often been thought that there was a link between the phases of the moon and depression but so little research has been done on the subject. The few studies that have been done have proved inconclusive but then, these studies have been fundementally flawed. The results have been based on studying whether referrals from doctors for patients complaining of depression have increased in relation to the moon phases. Well, I have been affected by the full and new moons my whole life and I have never been to the doctors and I'm sure there are many people the same. Also, it is highly likely that many people who are affected by the moon are unaware of the moon connection as it manifests itself as short bouts of depression, so many people might simply dismiss it. It was only through a coincidence that I made the connection and even then I wasn't fully convinced until I bought myself a calender with the phases of the moon on and saw there was no mistaking the correlation. It may differ from person to person but for me it spans a five day period beginning five days before a full moon. The first day is by far the worst, and it is far more than just feeling a little down, its a complete change of personality. This feeling gets progressively less as the days go on until the actual night of the full moon when I just snap back to my old self. I would love to know if other people experience the same thing but like I said so little research has been done.
Why do people as in humans howl at the moon?
Some people howl at the moon because they are mental or they enjoy it. Some do it for communication with other dogs around them or if you live in states that has wolves; people may do it for a respond from them. If you notice some people doing this (if they are strangers) leave them alone and runaway.

What effects do moon phases have on earth?
Moon phases can influence tides on Earth due to gravitational pull. Some believe that the moon phases can also affect plant growth, human behavior, and animal activity, although scientific evidence for these effects is limited. The changing amount of visible sunlight on the moon's surface during its phases can also impact the Earth's overall brightness at night.
