 Lunacy, the legendary notion of minds unhinged by the moon, still captivates the popular imagination. Although it violates the assumptions of modern science and psychiatry, the belief remains common among mental health workers – and several studies have found a small, unexplained correlation between behaviour and the lunar cycle.

Dr Niall McCrae, lecturer in mental health at King’s College, London, presents an historical account of the lunacy concept and discusses research issues.

We start every meeting with our Fortmanteu, our onthly round up of fortean news stories.

We meet the last Thursday of each month (usually) upstairs at The Bell, 50 Middlesex Street, London E1 7EX.

 Tubes: Liverpool Street, Aldgate, Aldgate East.

    Amazing article. Thanks for sharing with us. I would like to share the information about the App development companies in Pune, India. The close connection between creating an app and a business's success is highlighted by how flexible these digital tools can be. A well-made app acts like a helpful guide, steering companies through the twists and turns of customer needs, market changes, and the challenges of staying innovative.
