- Abstract
The article examines the alleged link between the full moon and extreme behavioural disturbance. According to the researchers, mental health workers and university students are most enthusiastic about this alleged link. The researchers observed patients with violent and acute behavioural disturbance at Calvary Mater Newcastle hospital in New South Wales. The study found that violent and acute behavioural disturbance were more prevalent during the full moon.
