Tony was mad at himself. He wasn’t hungry but downed a burger and fries anyway. Renee finds that after a hard day at work, she opens the refrigerator and dives into the snacks. And Holly eats whenever she prepares for a big test at college. All three of these people eat as a reaction to…

We hear so much about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affecting more and more kids. Do you think it is being over diagnosed? The school just asked us to get our son evaluated and we are hesitant because he is so much younger than most of the boys in his class. We think it is…

Jill and Dave are about to celebrate their first wedding anniversary as a couple.
