Suicide Fact: Often in the world some people commit suicide after being defeated by circumstances. A new study has been done on this subject which makes many surprising revelations. In this study, it has been told that at what time people commit suicide the most. You will be surprised to know that in this research, revelations have also been made about the full moon. For centuries it is believed that mysterious changes take place in people during full moon. Many horror movies have also been made regarding the full moon. In such a situation, let us know what the study has to say about the full moon in the case of suicide and when people commit suicide the most?
Incidents Increase During Full Moon
Psychiatrists at Indiana University’s School of Medicine in America have found in one of their studies that suicide incidents increase during the full moon. Researchers believe that the increased light during the full moon may be the reason for the increase in suicide incidents. Ambient light plays an important role in determining the biological clock of the body, mind and behavior of people. It also affects our sleeping and waking times. That’s why when it should be dark at night, the increase in light in the full moon affects the people.
In what time and month does the incidence increase?
The group of researchers analyzed the data on suicides in the province of Indiana for 4 years between 2012 and 2016. They found that suicide deaths increase in the week of full moon. The special thing was that these incidents increase even more rapidly in people above 55 years of age. When looking at the time and months of suicides, the researchers found that most suicides occurred between 3 and 4 p.m. and in the month of September.
They are most at risk
To know which biomarkers were present in those who committed suicide during this time, the officials took blood samples of those people. On analysis, it was found that the blood biomarker in those people is a gene. This gene controls the biological clock of the body. With the help of this biomarker, researchers said that people suffering from alcohol addiction or depression are at highest risk during this period.
What is the reason for suicide
Researchers believe that a little more in-depth study is needed on this, but committing suicide between 3 to 4 pm can be related to the fatigue of the day. Also, this may be the reason behind this happening in September, as during this time many people feel stressed due to the end of summer holidays.
