moon madness
Full moon frenzy
Moon madness is the folk belief that a full moon causes erratic behavior, mental disturbance, or heightened emotion.
The notion persists despite lacking scientific support: She blamed the chaos in the emergency room on moon madness.
The word lunatic shares this ancient association between the moon and madness.
