Feeling anxious about cicadas? You may not be alone. Here’s how to prepare Bonnie Meibers
Local people may be feeling anxious about the impending emergence of cicadas this month, and mental health experts say that’s totally normal.
Anxiety about the cicadas is common, said Dr. Christina Waite, the medical director for psychiatry at Miami Valley Hospital.
“These insects are very, very noisy, which is something we’re not used to, and they don’t occur often, so we don’t become accustomed to them at all,” Waite said. “Some anxiety is normal given the rarity of the situation.”
