There's been a lot of talk lately about the dangers of some antidepressants. Do I need to worry?

Antidepressant FAQs
Recently, it has come to light that some children may be at greater risk for suicide by taking these medications. Of course, this is very serious. However, there is no clear evidence that this is the case with adults. Many people have a withdrawal syndrome when coming off antidepressants. Symptoms can include nausea, anxiety, difficulty with sleep, vivid dreams, and the most characteristic symptom, an electric shock-like feeling throughout the body often brought on by turning the head.

I'm looking a little stooped over lately. Should I worry about Scoliosis?

Arizona Bone and Joint Specialist - Specializing in Orthopae...
Everyone's spine has curves. These curves produce the normal rounding of the shoulder and the sway of the lower back. A spine with scoliosis has abnormal curves with a rotational deformity. This means that the spine turns on its axis like a corkscrew. Compare the more subtle curve of the normal spine to the severe curvature of the scoliotic spine. Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine which may have its onset in infancy but is most frequently seen in adolescence.

There has been a lot of controversy lately about carbohydrates. Do pets need them?

Pet Planet ~ Welcome to Pet Planet!
Carbohydrates are supplied in the diet from plant sources like grains and vegetables and provide the fuel needed to sustain life. Carbohydrates are necessary for the digestion and metabolism of proteins and fats. Without carbohydrates and fat, protein would be converted to glucose and therefore protein would no longer be available for its primary purpose of building and maintaining body tissue.

welcome
Many people assume that hackers attack only large corporate networks or computers with always-on connections such as DSL. But all computers connected to the Internet are potentially at risk from hacker attacks. Attacks have more to do with your operating system, what you do when you're online, the type of software your computer runs, and occasionally, the computer hardware you own.

Is it common to worry a lot about the baby?

Event Gallery, NJDHSS - Postpartum Depression
It is common for women to become focused on their infant after birth. This is part of the maternal instinct and is probably mediated by the hormone oxytocin. All mothers become more observational of the infant, have an increased desire for safety and cleanliness and are somewhat hyper-aroused. Women who develop PPD often will develop an exaggerated sense of these instincts which can be quite distressing to the mother and require treatment.
