The April 8 solar eclipse should be a joyous wonder for many, but a doctor is warning that the event can cause anxiety among some.

“Our brains have a built-in alarm system called the amygdala, and when there is anything out of the ordinary in our environment, it clicks into hyperdrive and becomes aware of everything that is going on and triggers a fight or flight response, which may make you feel a little nervous,” said Albers. Albers recommended that people take deep breaths if feeling anxious. She also recommended trying to find a safe, comfortable spot to watch the eclipse to avoid anxiety.

So it's quite a profound experience, and you have a challenge.
