Bible

Lunatic probably the same as epileptic, the symptoms of which disease were supposed to be more aggravated as the moon increased. In Matt. 4:24 "lunatics" are distinguished from demoniacs. In 17:15 the name "lunatic" is applied to one who is declared to have been possessed. (See DAEMONIAC.). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.

Specialty Definition: Lunatic

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A lunatic (colloquially, "loony") is a pejorative term for a person who is mentally ill, dangerous, foolish or unpredictable. The word gains its stem from the latin for moon ('luna') which denotes the traditional link made in folklore between madness and the phases of the moon. This probably refers to the symptoms of cyclic mood disorders such as Bipolar disorder or cyclothymia, the symptoms of which may also go through phases. However, there is little evidence for any causal link between phases of the moon and the progression of mood disorder symptoms.

LUNARIAN, n. An inhabitant of the moon, as distinguished from Lunatic, one whom the moon inhabits. The Lunarians have been described by Lucian, Locke and other observers, but without much agreement. For example, Bragellos avers their anatomical identity with Man, but Professor Newcomb says they are more like the hill tribes of Vermont.
