There's a rise in depression and stress among teens and young adults and researchers want to know what's fueling it. One theory: the explosion of smartphones and social media use. While there could be other explanations -- like the uncertainty of the economy -- psychologists say one thing's certain: social media use can exacerbate anxiety about social status. And as anyone with a teen knows, it can be all-consuming.
When she found out she was pregnant, Lesley McClurg started to hear from other mom friends about their experiences with home birth.

Bottom line, there's less overall risk in a hospital.
If you have a bad reaction to a medicine, an "inactive ingredient" might be to blame.
New research finds the inactive ingredients in pills and capsules often contain substances like lactose or gluten or certain dyes that can trigger allergies. For most people, it's not a problem. But if you take multiple pills at once, the quantities could add up to create reactions in some people with sensitivities.
