For a long time, people believed a full moon drived people crazy. It was associated with Insomnia, and Insanity. Doctor's have not found strong evidence that this is true, but then and even now, people still believe it. The reason for the suicides around this time is due to the, Insomnia and "Insanity", you see, when people cant sleep they get delusional, causing them to think oddly and let them believe that they are dreaming, making them lose all self-control.

=====

It may be relevant to know that (recent?) studies indicated that suicides do NOT, in fact, spike during full moons.

People just think they do.

There are no statistics to back up any special human behavior during full moons.
